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 new 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.

These HO Scale Gold Line freight cars come fully assembled and include a complete set of add-on wire grab irons; molded drill starter points on the body simplify installation. McHenry(R) near-scale working knuckle couplers and free-rolling trucks with RP25 metal wheelsets round out each car.
