Review ATHEARN
The Athearn Genesis 2-Bay Hopper Dump Car with 36" Coil Underframe (70456) is a highly detailed and accurate model train car that is sure to impress rail enthusiasts and collectors alike. This HO scale model is based on the modern hopper car, which is a common sight on railroads today.
The car features a 2-bay hopper design, which allows it to carry a large volume of bulk cargo such as grain, coal, or sand. The hopper bays are equipped with operating hatches that can be opened and closed using a switch located on the side of the car. When the hatches are open, the cargo spills out of the bottom of the car, allowing it to be unloaded at a destination station.
One of the standout features of this model is its coil underframe, which provides additional support and stability for the car. The coil underframe is also equipped with realistic detailing, including brake gear, air hoses, and coupler cut levers. This adds to the overall realism of the model and helps it to accurately represent a real-world hopper car.
The car is painted in a vibrant red and white livery, which is typical of many modern hopper cars. The lettering on the car is crisp and easy to read, and includes the name and logo of the fictional "Central Valley Railroad." The car also features realistic lighting, which includes both marker lights and headlights. The marker lights are located on the ends of the car and are activated when the car is operated in DCC mode, while the headlights are located on the front of the car and can be turned on and off using a switch.
The wheels on this model are powered by a five-pole motor, which provides smooth and quiet operation. The wheels are also equipped with realistic tread patterns and flange detailing, which helps to accurately represent the wheels on a real-world hopper car.
Overall, the Athearn Genesis 2-Bay Hopper Dump Car with 36" Coil Underframe (70456) is a highly detailed and accurate model train car that is sure to be a hit with rail enthusiasts and collectors. Its realistic detailing, operating features, and vibrant paint scheme make it a standout addition to any HO scale model train layout.
