Bachmann HO scale Schnabel car

This new HO ready-to-run car from Bachmann represents one of the largest freight cars in North America. Specialized freight cars like this huge Schnabel car are employed by railroads to carry extra-heavy and oversize loads. The empty car is a scale 169 feet long, and it expands to 200 feet with the transformer load that’s included. The cab roofs are a scale 15'-0" above the rails and the end platforms are 10'-3" wide.
