Distinctive 1960s-Era Hoppers

One of the most unique Pullman covered hoppers, these cars were produced between 1962 and 1964 and remained in service until the early 2000s. More than 2000 prototypes were placed in service transporting grain, fertilizer and other bulk commodities. The finely detailed models ride on 100-ton ASF ride control trucks and scale profile metal wheels. They feature body-mounted Micro-Trains couplers and accurate paint and printing.
