Walthers announces the release of its HO Scale Difco Dump Car in new paint schemes. These colorful cars will be welcome additions to modelers' work train consists.

Fast Facts: These 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. While used primarily in work train service for dumping ballast, fill and rip rap, railroads use them in revenue service too. Most often, they're used to move sand, gravel, cinders, coal, limestone and other loose bulk materials, making them suitable for mining, quarry and generating station scenes.

Features: This Gold Line ready-to-run HO Scale model comes fully assembled and features PROTO Max™ all-metal knuckle couplers and free-rolling trucks with RP-25 metal wheelsets, a complete set of add-on wire grab irons and molded drill starter points on the body to simplify installation.
