Description

ATHEARN BETHGON COALPORTER PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:

Built by Bethlehem Steel's Johnstown American Corporation, the BethGon features all-aluminum construction and a unique trough-style bottom for added carrying capacity.

This 'Bathtub' design increased the cubic capacity of the car and gave the added advantage of a lower center of gravity for better tracking. Coalporters generally operate in solid unit trains. One end of each car is equipped with a rotary coupler, to allow a train to be fed through a rotary unloader without uncoupling the cars.

ATHEARN BETHGON COALPORTER FEATURES:

  • Separately applied brake wheel
  • Multiple road numbers
  • Removable coal load
  • 36” machined metal wheels and RP25 contours
  • Operates on Code 40, 55 and 80 rail
  • Screw-mounted 100 ton roller bearing trucks
  • Weighted for optimum performance
  • Body-mounted McHenry ® operating scale knuckle couplers
  • Highly detailed, injection molded body
  • Painted and printed for realistic decoration
  • Minimum radius: 9 3/4”
