Difco Dump Car - Kit -- Amtrak

These very distinctive cars are the railroad equivalent of a dump truck. Designed to carry up to 100 tons, they are fitted with large pneumatic cylinders and side doors, and can dump to the left or right of the tracks. Unlike other MOW cars, they can also be used in revenue service to carry sand, gravel, cinders, coal and other loose bulk materials. These cars will be right at home on any maintenance project and are perfect for use with Walthers Work Train Sets. The kits are easy to build, and are designed so they can be positioned in a dump mode, with movable cylinders and side doors. They'll look great hauling ash from the Cornerstone Series (R) Northern Light & Power Powerhouse (933-3021) or carrying rock or dirt away from the New River Mining Co. (933-3017).
