ExactRail
has
introduced an HO
scale Bethlehem
4000 cu. ft.
open-top hopper
car. The proto-
type was created in a rebuilding program that added 8” chord
extensions to Bethlehem 3737 cu.ft. and 3716 cu.ft. cars. An
additional spotting feature from the rebuild is the relocation of
the grab irons on the sides and ends of the cars. The Platinum
series model features an etched metal slack adjustor guard,
machined metal wheels and axles, and Kadee #58 couplers.
In addition to the green CNW car shown here, the Bethlehem
4000 hopper is available decorated for CNW (black), MP,
MP-UP, and MP (screaming eagle). The ready-to-run model is
available direct from ExactRail at $39.95.
HO scale prototype modelers will be pleased to learn that
ExactRail is now selling many of its individual detail parts.
