Walthers 932-42321 HO Scale 50 Ton Steel Sheathed War Hopper B&O #733130

Description

This is a Walthers 932-42321 HO Scale 50 Ton Steel Sheathed War Hopper B&O #733130. Walthers Rolling Stock steel-sheathed war emergency hopper, ready to run, Platinum Line™. Baltimore & Ohio #733130 (black). World War II brought the famous war emergency hoppers (only the N&W and MP bought the 70-ton version) and several composite versions of existing designs. After the war, AC&F found some brief success with a welded outside-stake hopper design, but the weld joints broke under the stress of loading and unloading rather than flexing like riveted joints. The offset-side design also had problems: the inside stakes were more prone to corrosion, and they suffered worse from loading and unloading stress than outside-staked hoppers. The design waned in the 1950s and was all but abandoned for new cars by 1960. Some roads (notably the C&O, the B&O, and the L&N) made the best of a bad situation by rebuilding their offset-side cars with all new outside-staked sides in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Its key features are:
Heavy die cast underframe for excellent tracking.
Factory-installed grab irons.
Detailed underbody brake equipment.
RP-25 metal wheels.
