Since the 1800s, hauling meat on the hoof to market was a long-time business for North American railroads. By the mid 20th century, specialized stockcars were still hauling livestock on the rails, but the cars had been modernized with many of the features found on other rolling stock of the era. This WalthersMainline model captures many of the spotting features of these 1950s built wood prototypes, including corrugated steel Dreadnaught ends, a metal roof and roofwalk and body mounted handbrake. Other details include simulated wood slats, Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers and metal 33\" scale diameter wheels. Cattle and livestock were important traffic on every railroad from the steam era into the 1960s and this 40' Wood Stock Car makes it easy to keep this traffic moving on your HO Scale railroad. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne time run of these roadnumbers, order now - limited quantity available!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypes moved livestock from range stockyards to processors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat car for steam- and classic-diesel-era freight trains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic slatted wood sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrugated steel Dreadnaught ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for serving the Cornerstone(R) Stock Yard #933-3047 and Champion Packing Co. #933-3048 kits, both sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed underbody with brake gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect 33\" RP-25 metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) magnetic metal knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WalthersMainline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51663171846457,"sku":"910-41519","price":33.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/8781\/9833\/files\/910-41519.jpg?v=1767707080","url":"https:\/\/hiawathahobbies.com\/products\/walthersmainline-ho-40-wood-stock-car-with-dreadnaught-ends-ready-to-run-swift-3484","provider":"Hiawatha Hobbies LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
