Here's my next review video for all of you fine people!
Recently, these new items arrived and I was eager to get them out on the layout and make another review video. Here are some of the new 3-unit 53' Thrall Well Cars made by Walthers MainLine in HO Scale.
These cars are made with a die-cast body, which help them track very well, loaded or empty. The detail is acceptable for a MainLine item, though they could be spruced up a bit with some homemade coupler cut bars and Kadee Couplers.
To match with these well cars, I pre-ordered some ScaleTrains Operator 53' containers decorated for Walmart. I have seen these on the prototype for a while, and glad someone made them. However, I recently learned that Walmart sold their container operations to JB Hunt, so in time the real containers may get patched or repainted. At first glance, I thought these were a Rivet Counter series container. They are really nicely detailed!
They fit perfectly in the Walthers cars, and matched up with other brands of containers with no problem. So if you're in the market to expand your intermodal fleet, here's a great combination to consider!
