Prototype Information — | |
Since 1982, the BethGon Coalporter has been hauling "black
diamonds" across the United States. The largest selling Coal Gondola in the
world, the car's double tub design increases hauling capacity while reducing maintenance
requirements. Tubs below the car lower the center of gravity, providing a smoother
ride. With
thousands upon thousands of these cars in service, we are certain that the BethGon
Coalporter will find a home on model railroads everywhere. |

Coming to modelers
in 8-car sets, Kato's new N-Scale BethGon Coalporter has many exciting features!
All cars will be fully decorated with removable coal loads included at no extra
cost. Interior bracing allows a new level of realism for those times when your
SD70MAC or AC4400CW is pulling "empties." A new feature of these cars
is a special shock absorber design to provide reliable operation.
Take special note
of the truck location on the cars - the prototype's wheels extend past the car
end and we have replicated this appearance. Additionally, all cars will come with
a "close coupling" knuckle coupler to maintain a more prototypical appearance
between cars. Last, but not least, these cars will come with new low flange wheelsets.
