When a load is too heavy or too large for an ordinary flatcar, railroads reach for specialised equipment like this 66' four-truck heavy-duty flatcar. Rated for 240 tons and up, cars like these ran in small fleets, assigned wherever heavy-haul work came up: industrial machinery, boilers, electrical generators and transformers, construction plant and military vehicles.
The four-truck design is the whole point. Spreading the weight across sixteen axles lets the railroad move loads that would flatten a conventional car, and it gives the model a distinctive look that stands out in any consist.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will it ship?Walthers expects this run in Winter 2027. We ship it the day it reaches us.
How does the pre-order work?This is a pre-paid pre-order. You pay in full at checkout and your unit is locked in. If you cancel before it ships, 90% is refundable and we keep a 10% cancellation fee.
Is it ready to run?Yes. Metal knuckle couplers and RP-25 turned-metal wheelsets are factory installed, so it goes straight on the layout.
Does it come with a load?No, the car is sold without a load. The deck is clear, which makes it an easy base for a scratchbuilt or cast resin load.
Can I run it with my existing cars?Yes. It is standard HO with metal knuckle couplers, so it couples to anything Kadee-compatible.
