Important Update

As a result of a painting error, all production models of WalthersMainline Single Unit Thrall 40' Rebuilt Well Cars  and all yellow TTX and BNSF models of the Five-Unit Thrall 40' Rebuilt Well Cars were rejected. The Santa Fe Leasing Company cars were approved and will be delivered as expected. While this is disappointing, work is already underway on a replacement production run, with delivery expected next spring.

 Dear HO Scale Customers;

Modernize your HO Scale intermodal fleet in minutes with WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Cars! As the 53' container quickly became the standard for domestic shipping, older well cars built to carry 48' boxes soon fell out of favor with railroads. Most were only a few years old, so starting in 2003 Thrall began a rebuilding program that shortened the wells to the standard 40' on both single and five-unit cars. Today they can be seen carrying 20' and 40' containers in the well, with 40' and 53' units on top.

Fully assembled and ready for service, the models feature:

• One time run of these roadnumbers - limited quantity, order now!

• 100- and 70-ton roller bearing trucks

• Correct 36" and 33" RP-25 turned metal wheelsets

• Heavy die-cast metal frame for superb performance empty or loaded

• Finely molded 3-D brake rods with chains, brake piping and weld lines on body

• Separate deck-mounted brake detail with piping, IBC storage boxes and realistic walkways

• Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers
