The Bachmann 19702 brings real motion to your HO scale layout — a 40' Animated Stock Car in Southern Railway green with four horse heads that bob in and out of the side windows as the car rolls down the rails. It's a Silver Series freight car, so you get metal wheelsets, operating sliding doors, and body-mounted E-Z Mate Mark II couplers along with the animation. A classic novelty piece that doubles as a working stock car for any post-WWII era layout.

FAQ
How does the animation work?
Four horse heads mounted inside the car bob in and out of the side windows as the wheels turn — no batteries or wiring needed. Just roll the car on regular track and the action begins.
Is this DCC compatible?
This is an unpowered freight car, so it runs on any DC or DCC layout with no electronics inside.
Will the couplers work with my Kadee fleet?
Yes. Bachmann's E-Z Mate Mark II knuckle couplers are body-mounted and fully compatible with Kadee #5, #58, and other standard HO knuckle couplers.
What era does this car fit?
Stock cars like this one saw heavy use from the steam era through the late 1960s. The Southern Railway green scheme fits transition-era through early modern layouts.
