(Different roadnumber may be shown)

Upgrade your intermodal operations with Walthers Proto HO Scale Gunderson As-Built 48' Well Cars! As 45' and 48' containers and trailers entered domestic service in the 1990s, North American railroads soon needed a car that could better handle both types of equipment. Freight car builder Gunderson answered the call with a 48' version of its popular 40' well car. The versatile 48' Gunderson all-purpose well car even had trailer hitches at each end so it could handle both container and trailer traffic. Although their numbers have declined in recent years as 53' cars became more prevalent in the 21st century, many 48' cars can still be found hauling 20 to 48-foot containers in the well with a longer container stacked on top. The superdetailed Walthers Proto model is an easy way to add some "vintage" character to your modern era intermodal fleet. This limited-edition HO Scale model features:

  • Heavy die-cast metal body for excellent tracking loaded or empty
  • Factory-installed wire grab irons, brake gear and other details
  • Etched-metal walkways provide a realistic see-through effect
  • Ultra smooth rolling metal axles and scale 33" diameter metal wheelsets
  • Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers for reliable operation
  • Factory installed trailer hitches at each end
  • Well designed to fit SceneMaster(TM) containers from scale 20' to 48'
  • Minimum radius: 22" (24" recommended)
