{"product_id":"40-wd-stkcr-cbq-52956-d","title":"40' Wood Stock Car with Dreadnaught ends - Ready to Run -- Chicago, Burlington \u0026 Quincy #52956-D","description":"Prototypes for the WalthersMainline HO Scale 40' Wood Stock Car with Dreadnaught Ends could be found running on almost every North American railroad before the 1970s. Since the 1800s, hauling meat on the hoof to market was a long-time business for North American railroads. By the mid 20th century, specialized stockcars were still hauling livestock on the rails, but the cars had been modernized with many of the features found on other rolling stock of the era. This WalthersMainline model captures many of the spotting features of these 1950s built wood prototypes, including corrugated steel Dreadnaught ends, a metal roof and roofwalk and body mounted handbrake. Other details include simulated wood slats, Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers and metal 33\" scale diameter wheels. Cattle and livestock were important traffic on every railroad from the steam era into the 1960s and this 40' Wood Stock Car makes it easy to keep this traffic moving on your HO Scale railroad.   \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e One time run of these roadnumbers, order now - limited quantity available! \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Prototypes moved livestock from range stockyards to processors \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Great car for steam- and classic-diesel-era freight trains \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Authentic slatted wood sides \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Corrugated steel Dreadnaught ends \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Perfect for serving the Cornerstone(R) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/45zhdHp\"\u003e Stock Yard #933-3047 \u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Hlzz6L\"\u003e Champion Packing Co. #933-3048 \u003c\/a\u003e kits, both sold separately \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Detailed underbody with brake gear \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Correct 33\" RP-25 metal wheels \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Proto MAX(TM) magnetic metal knuckle couplers \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WalthersMainline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53007822782829,"sku":"910-41507","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/7228\/6317\/files\/media_cec7259b-4190-486c-88b8-ab964118131d.jpg?v=1787945418","url":"https:\/\/walthers.com\/products\/40-wd-stkcr-cbq-52956-d","provider":"Walthers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
