Add a must-have car to your Amtrak fleet in minutes with layout-ready Material Handling Cars (MHCs) from WalthersMainline!

Based on MHC II 1500 Series cars, the HO models include factory-applied ladders and door wheel, correct GSC trucks with 36" turned metal RP-25 wheelsets, correct diagonal panel roof, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.
