A recent innovation in coal gondola technology, the BethGon Coalporter(TM) gondola can be seen on railroads across the country, with more than 10,000 cars in service. Built by Bethlehem Steel's Johnstown American Corporation, the BethGon features all-aluminum construction and a unique trough-style bottom for added carrying capacity. Because there are no discharge chutes on the bottom of the car, these cars are unloaded strictly by rotary dump.
 
With these models, you'll be able to model a unit train in minutes. The six-packs come ready to run, and each car features a different number. The cars are sharply detailed, with the authentic trough bottom and a hidden weight for better operation.
 
The cars are ideal for use with the Cornerstone Series(R) Coal Flood Loader, found in the Structures section of the HO Scale Reference Book.
