Twin Tub Gondola - Freightcar America, Inc. f/k/a Johnstown America "BethGon® Coalporter®"

Johnstown America (now Freightcar America Inc.) is a pioneer in getting the most out of their materials. They introduced the revolutionary original all steel construction Bethgon®. The deLuxe Innovations model of this car correctly captures the feel of the raw aluminum of these cars, and the most current design with aluminum square tubing for the superstructure. This superstructure was folded steel in earlier versions, and the latest version that we have chosen to release is square aluminum tubing for lightness and strength.

Part #: DI-122501 Dairyland Power (DAPX) - Twin Tub BethGon "Coal Porter" - single
Click photo to see large view

< size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Dairyland Power is one of several Wisconsin based utilities who use Powder River Basin Coal. Solid trains of DAPX cars are flood loaded at the giant silos in Wyoming and run home to the Dairy State. These cars have an electric blue rotary end and black slope sheet supports on the other end. We are cooperating with the folks at Atlas Model Railroad Company to time this release to come out shortly after the release by Atlas of Dairyland Power ACF Coalveyors. The Atlas cars, which are a considerably different design, are painted black with blue ends. Atlas is releasing their car in 12 road numbers and deLuxe is releasing this car in 12 numbers (a single, 2 pack, 3 pack, and 6 pack.) This way, modelers can assemble a Dairyland Power unit train with a mixture of both CoalPorters and Coalveyors in a total of 24 different road numbers. Put some variety in your unit train.

< size="-1" face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Stock Checks:

< size="-1" face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore.< face="Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
