The 3-bay CenterFlow covered hopper first entered service in the mid-1960s, built by American Car and Foundry. The cars handle loads such as grain, corn and similar bulk commodities. The Centerflow design relies on the car?s rounded body to provide structural strength - eliminating the traditional center sill and making gravity unloading easier.
Our 3-bay car represents the common 4600 cu.ft. capacity version. The railroads looking to replace their aging 40? box cars in grain service needed a modern hopper design - one that could operate within the tighter Plate B clearances for light branchline and industrial service. ACF?s design won them many contracts from a plethora of railroads. One can find these cars still in revenue service today in grain trains and other similar service.

HO Blunami BLU-PNP8 - 8 Function Bluetooth Controlled Sound Decoder - EMD Diesels
Blunami will change the way you enjoy the model railroading hobby! The BLU-PNP8 is a universal factory board replacement sound decoder suitable for use in many manufacturers diesel models such as those made by Atlas, Athearn, and Intermountain Models. It is suitable for a wide variety of models from HO to S scale. It can be operated in three different ways: DC, DCC, and Wireless mode. Using the Blunami App, you can operate your locomotive incredibly easily.
Need Help Choosing a Sound Profile?
We have tons of sounds to match a wide range of locomotives. So many, in fact, we cannot fit them all on one decoder. Therefore, they are broken up into sound profiles of like sounds (EMD, GE, ALCO, etc.). If you do not know which sound profile you need, the best place to start is the Sound Selection References. These will list all the prime movers or exhaust chuffs available on each sound profile.
DYNAMIC DIGITAL EXHAUST :
For added realism, you will love our reactive Dynamic Digital Exhaust (DDE) feature that automatically notches your models engine up or down depending on the load on the motor. With the Blunami App, DDE calibration has never been easier. When your locomotive is traveling across flat terrain and simply maintaining speed, you will hear your locomotive chugging along. But, when the locomotive encounters a grade and the engineer applies more throttle to get the train up the hill, the engine sounds will automatically react and reflect the increase of power needed to crest the hill. DDE accomplishes this by calculating the changes in strain or load on the motor and adjusting the exhaust to appropriately simulate the work the engineer would be doing to the throttle of the engine. This gives Blunami the ability to create the most realistic experience possible.
HIGH-QUALITY SOUND LIBRARY:
Our large selection of sound effects includes:
- Up to 12 Prime Movers in each sound profile
- Up to 12 Bells
- 40+ Airhorns
- Additional couplers, cab chatter, and more!
ADDED REALISM:
Additional realism can be simulated by adding functioning locomotive and train brakes, injectors, and more.
EASY INSTALLATION:
This decoder includes a connector to easily add a CurrentKeeper (P.N. 810140 or 810160) to maintain performance over dirty track and switches.

HO Bethlehem 3350 CuFt Quad Coal Hopper - SBD/CSXT (Black Repaint 1987+) #345926
Repaint Date: 6-87
Truck: Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with rotating Timken bearing caps and separate brake beam part
Wheels: CNC-Machined 36 Inch Wheels
SBD/CSXT Black Repaint 1987+ takes us back to early days of the CSX. In 1987, the ex-L&N South Louisville Car Shops were still in full swing, repainting cars. These repaints featured SBD reporting marks and the now-familiar CSX logo on the hopper car sides. This group of CSX repaints is pulled from ex-L&N Bethlehem cars built in 1976. The models feature an accurate body for this ex-L&N series, including rounded top chord corner caps, paired lower posts at the side bolsters, and tiny accurate triangle supports on the bottom chord near the bolster posts. The B-end of the model features an accurate Universal 7400 high handbrake, modern brake wheel and Morton-style brake step. Inside, the models have a gorgeous (and removable!) flood-style coal load. These coal cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with separate truck brake beams and rotating Timken caps. The CSX lettering on the cars is carefully replicated, and includes varying CAPY data, South Louisville paint codes and COTS data across the different car numbers. Its time to haul coal!!

In the late 1970s Amtrak acquired a fleet of second-hand GP7s which were painted in a bright orange color for use in maintenance-of-way service (MOW). These highly visible units were quickly and unofficially named -Pumpkins- by the railfan community. They were frequently spotted hauling Amtrak ballast cars, flat cars equipped with special racks to carry rail, or gondolas that were used to gather scrap steel and wooden ties that accumulated on the right-of-way. Aside from MOW use, these units were used to couple Amtrak express Roadrailers to soon-to- arrive passenger trains. Pumpkins could also be found in service on non-Amtrak rails. For example, Amtrak -Pumpkins- were involved in the rebuilding of the Doylestown branch for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA), and the Atlantic City line for New Jersey Transit. This bright paint scheme with unique details such as cab mounted strobes and end mounted emergency beacons will surely be an -attention grabber- on your layout.

Vallejo 73801 - Model Wash - Weathering FX - Industrial Thick Mud - 40mL Bottle
Model Wash is a range of washes created with a unique water-based formula. The product provides the model painter with new techniques for rendering the processes of ageing and exposure to the elements. Colors with a matt finish and of high capillarity, formulated to bring forth the minute details of the panels of the model and the contrasts produced by the wear and accumulated grime caused by operative and weather exposure. The versatility of Model Wash makes the product equally useful for a quick shading as for the creation of caked dust and dirt around the details of the model, such as rivets and panel lines. The washes are also used as a filter, applied in a uniform manner on the model to modify the base color. Model Wash can be applied by brush and airbrush and dries very quickly so that after some 20 minutes the painting or weathering process can be continued. Painting tools are cleaned with water.
SAFETY: Model Wash is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.
PACKAGING: 35 ml bottle with a flip top/eyedropper closure.
APPLICATIONS: Model Wash Blue Grey is recommended for vehicles with a Panzer Grey base color, as well as all vehicles with a similar grey base.

It was the mid 1970s, and the incentive per diem box car boom was just beginning. New, brightly painted box cars seemed to appear overnight. Many were lettered for various short lines. FMC (Food Machinery Corporation) was a significant builder of many of these cars. The 50? outside post, non-terminating end box car, became the foundation for new per diem cars built in the 1970s. The 50? FMC cars also varied in door configuration and style to better suit each customer. These models can still be seen today in the modern railroading scene.

Repaint Date: 6-87
Truck: Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with rotating Timken bearing caps and separate brake beam part
Wheels: CNC-Machined 36 Inch Wheels
SBD/CSXT Black Repaint 1987+ takes us back to early days of the CSX. In 1987, the ex-L&N South Louisville Car Shops were still in full swing, repainting cars. These repaints featured SBD reporting marks and the now-familiar CSX logo on the hopper car sides. This group of CSX repaints is pulled from ex-L&N Bethlehem cars built in 1976. The models feature an accurate body for this ex-L&N series, including rounded top chord corner caps, paired lower posts at the side bolsters, and tiny accurate triangle supports on the bottom chord near the bolster posts. The B-end of the model features an accurate Universal 7400 high handbrake, modern brake wheel and Morton-style brake step. Inside, the models have a gorgeous (and removable!) flood-style coal load. These coal cars roll on Tangent 100-ton Barber S-2 trucks with separate truck brake beams and rotating Timken caps. The CSX lettering on the cars is carefully replicated, and includes varying CAPY data, South Louisville paint codes and COTS data across the different car numbers. Its time to haul coal!!

HO Slab-Side Covered Hopper - Canadian National CN #113404
Features:
Highly detailed
Prototypically accurate
Era-appropriate paint schemes and lettering
Product Information
This detailed, ready-to-run Atlas Master HO Scale Slab-Side Covered Hopper is a highly detailed model of a car that was a mainstay for hauling all kinds of granulated materials. The Atlas model of this distinctive car is available in 6, 8, and 12 hatch versions, with or without the side sill openings. The Slab-Side Covered Hopper features a detailed, injection-molded body, appropriate trucks with metal wheels, body-mounted AccuMate knuckle couplers and accurate decoration. The development of the covered hopper car for the transport of bulk commodities for the agricultural, chemical, and construction industries entered a new phase in the late 1940s, when the shops of the Canadian Pacific Railroad introduced a 70-ton, 3000 cubic foot, interior braced hopper with smooth, welded sides similar in appearance to the Canadian offset side open hoppers of the era. This -slab side- design actually maximized the interior width of the car, thereby lowering the center of gravity and improving tracking stability. Cars of this design were produced from 1950-1964 by National Steel Car Company, Canadian Car and Foundry, Marine Industries and even Montreal Locomotive Works. Over the years of production, a number of different roof hatch arrangements for product loading were available, and the openings along the side sills - an early design change made by CP to give better access to the discharge mechanisms - became standard on all cars produced after 1954. These cars were a common sight on Canadian and US rails through the late 1990s hauling grain, malt, sugar, cement, or even sand for company use.

Genesis 100-ton trucks with 36in machined metal wheels and animated spinning roller bearing caps
PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The 3-bay Center Flow covered hopper first entered service in the mid-1960s, built by American Car and Foundry. The cars handle loads such as grain, corn, and similar bulk commodities. The Center Flow design relies on the car?s rounded body to provide structural strength - eliminating the traditional center sill and making gravity unloading easier.
Our 3-bay car represents the common 4600 cu.ft. capacity version. The railroads looking to replace their aging 40? box cars in grain service needed a modern hopper design - one that could operate within the tighter Plate B clearances for light branchline and industrial service. ACF?s design won them many contracts from a plethora of railroads. One can find these cars still in revenue service today in grain trains and other similar service.

Vallejo 73823 - Model Wash - Weathering FX - Slime Grime Light - 40mL Bottle
Model Wash is a range of washes created with a unique water-based formula. The product provides the model painter with new techniques for rendering the processes of ageing and exposure to the elements.

The versatility of Model Wash makes the product equally useful for a quick shading as for the creation of caked dust and dirt around the details of the model, such as rivets and panel lines. The washes are also used as a filter, applied in a uniform manner on the model to modify the base color. Model Wash can be applied by brush and airbrush and dries very quickly so that after some 20 minutes the painting or weathering process can be continued. Painting tools are cleaned with water.
SAFETY: Model Wash is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.
PACKAGING: 35 ml bottle with a flip top/eyedropper closure.
APPLICATIONS: Model Wash Blue Grey is recommended for vehicles with a Panzer Grey base color, as well as all vehicles with a similar grey base.

HO Slab-Side Covered Hopper - Canadian Pacific #381128
8 Hatch
Features:
Highly detailed
Prototypically accurate
Era-appropriate paint schemes and lettering
Product Information
This detailed, ready-to-run Atlas Master HO Scale Slab-Side Covered Hopper is a highly detailed model of a car that was a mainstay for hauling all kinds of granulated materials. The Atlas model of this distinctive car is available in 6, 8, and 12 hatch versions, with or without the side sill openings. The Slab-Side Covered Hopper features a detailed, injection-molded body, appropriate trucks with metal wheels, body-mounted AccuMate knuckle couplers and accurate decoration. The development of the covered hopper car for the transport of bulk commodities for the agricultural, chemical, and construction industries entered a new phase in the late 1940s, when the shops of the Canadian Pacific Railroad introduced a 70-ton, 3000 cubic foot, interior braced hopper with smooth, welded sides similar in appearance to the Canadian offset side open hoppers of the era. This -slab side- design actually maximized the interior width of the car, thereby lowering the center of gravity and improving tracking stability. Cars of this design were produced from 1950-1964 by National Steel Car Company, Canadian Car and Foundry, Marine Industries and even Montreal Locomotive Works. Over the years of production, a number of different roof hatch arrangements for product loading were available, and the openings along the side sills - an early design change made by CP to give better access to the discharge mechanisms - became standard on all cars produced after 1954. These cars were a common sight on Canadian and US rails through the late 1990s hauling grain, malt, sugar, cement, or even sand for company use.

Vallejo 73827 - Model Wash - Weathering FX - Moss and Lichen - 40mL Bottle
Model Wash is a range of washes created with a unique water-based formula. The product provides the model painter with new techniques for rendering the processes of ageing and exposure to the elements. Colors with a matt finish and of high capillarity, formulated to bring forth the minute details of the panels of the model and the contrasts produced by the wear and accumulated grime caused by operative and weather exposure. The versatility of Model Wash makes the product equally useful for a quick shading as for the creation of caked dust and dirt around the details of the model, such as rivets and panel lines. The washes are also used as a filter, applied in a uniform manner on the model to modify the base color. Model Wash can be applied by brush and airbrush and dries very quickly so that after some 20 minutes the painting or weathering process can be continued. Painting tools are cleaned with water.
SAFETY: Model Wash is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.
PACKAGING: 35 ml bottle with a flip top/eyedropper closure.
APPLICATIONS: Model Wash Blue Grey is recommended for vehicles with a Panzer Grey base color, as well as all vehicles with a similar grey base.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The 3-bay Center Flow covered hopper first entered service in the mid-1960s, built by American Car and Foundry. The cars handle loads such as grain, corn, and similar bulk commodities. The Center Flow design relies on the car?s rounded body to provide structural strength - eliminating the traditional center sill and making gravity unloading easier.
Our 3-bay car represents the common 4600 cu.ft. capacity version. The railroads looking to replace their aging 40? box cars in grain service needed a modern hopper design - one that could operate within the tighter Plate B clearances for light branchline and industrial service. ACF?s design won them many contracts from a plethora of railroads. One can find these cars still in revenue service today in grain trains and other similar service.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The 3-bay Center Flow covered hopper first entered service in the mid-1960s, built by American Car and Foundry. The cars handle loads such as grain, corn, and similar bulk commodities. The Center Flow design relies on the car?s rounded body to provide structural strength - eliminating the traditional center sill and making gravity unloading easier.
Our 3-bay car represents the common 4600 cu.ft. capacity version. The railroads looking to replace their aging 40? box cars in grain service needed a modern hopper design - one that could operate within the tighter Plate B clearances for light branchline and industrial service. ACF?s design won them many contracts from a plethora of railroads. One can find these cars still in revenue service today in grain trains and other similar service.
HO EMD GP35 Low Nose - No-Sound / DC - Chesapeake & Ohio #3529 (blue,yellow)
This HO Scale Stealth Series EMD GP35 from Broadway Limited is based on the ubiquitous EMD GP35 4-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by EMD and subsequently General Motors Diesel in the mid 1960s. Over 1300 of these locomotives were produced, and they were operated by virtually every major railroad in the United States. Addtionally 26 units were built for Canadian railroads and another 57 units were built for Mexican railroads. These freight locomotives were powered by EMD 567D3A 16-cylinder engines that generated 2500 horsepower.
This Stealth Series no-sound/DCC-ready model operates on DC out of the box, or a modeler can easily install their DCC decoder of choice. Out of the box, front and rear lights are directional, and other lights are always ON with track power. Additionally some lighting functions may be missing depending on selected aftermarket decoder the modeler installs. This model includes a 21-pin decoder socket so you can add your favorite DCC or sound decoder when you're ready. It also features a built-in speaker so you won't have to add one later. Other features include a heavy die cast chassis and select roadname-specific details. Its wheels profiled to operate on Code 70 and larger rail and curves of 18" radius but larger curves are recommended. The EMD GP35 is one of many Broadway Limited HO Scale Paragon4 locomotives.

Part of BNSFs order in 1999, these were originally painted in the -Heritage 2- scheme from the factory. Over time with normal wear and tear, these units paint began to fade. As they got outshopped for major repairs, some were repainted into BNSFs current -Wedge- scheme. It was also common to see different variations of paint and parts used. Air conditioners and antennas were commonly changed out over time as seen on other equipment. We offer these variations based on collected research photos.

The SD50Fs were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in two batches ? in 1985 and 1987, respectively. It is the Canadian variant of the EMD SD50 six-axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. Nicknamed the ?Draper Taper? after CN?s Chief of Motive Power at the time, it has a full-width cowl body and cab, with a tapered section immediately behind the cab for improved rear visibility. A total of 60 units were built, all for the Canadian National Railway. They saw extensive mainline freight service on the CN network across Canada and in the United States. They were retired by CN in 2008. A limited number of locomotives still operate today with second-hand owners.
The SD50AFs were built General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They were effectively ?demonstrator? SD60F units with the then-new 710 prime mover installed in place of the 645 used on the SD50 series. A total of 4 units were built for the Canadian National Railway. Initially numbered CN 9900-9903, they were renumbered to CN 5500-5503 by 1989. All 4 units were retired by CN in 2017. Units 5500 and 5501 still operate today with the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad in the United States.

HO Slab-Side Covered Hopper (8 Hatch) - Canadian National (CN Noodle) #353637
Features:
Highly detailed
Prototypically accurate
Era-appropriate paint schemes and lettering
Product Information
This detailed, ready-to-run Atlas Master HO Scale Slab-Side Covered Hopper is a highly detailed model of a car that was a mainstay for hauling all kinds of granulated materials. The Atlas model of this distinctive car is available in 6, 8, and 12 hatch versions, with or without the side sill openings. The Slab-Side Covered Hopper features a detailed, injection-molded body, appropriate trucks with metal wheels, body-mounted AccuMate knuckle couplers and accurate decoration. The development of the covered hopper car for the transport of bulk commodities for the agricultural, chemical, and construction industries entered a new phase in the late 1940s, when the shops of the Canadian Pacific Railroad introduced a 70-ton, 3000 cubic foot, interior braced hopper with smooth, welded sides similar in appearance to the Canadian offset side open hoppers of the era. This -slab side- design actually maximized the interior width of the car, thereby lowering the center of gravity and improving tracking stability. Cars of this design were produced from 1950-1964 by National Steel Car Company, Canadian Car and Foundry, Marine Industries and even Montreal Locomotive Works. Over the years of production, a number of different roof hatch arrangements for product loading were available, and the openings along the side sills - an early design change made by CP to give better access to the discharge mechanisms - became standard on all cars produced after 1954. These cars were a common sight on Canadian and US rails through the late 1990s hauling grain, malt, sugar, cement, or even sand for company use.

HO Slab-Side Covered Hopper - Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo TH&B #2841
8 Hatch
Features:
Highly detailed
Prototypically accurate
Era-appropriate paint schemes and lettering
Product Information
This detailed, ready-to-run Atlas Master HO Scale Slab-Side Covered Hopper is a highly detailed model of a car that was a mainstay for hauling all kinds of granulated materials. The Atlas model of this distinctive car is available in 6, 8, and 12 hatch versions, with or without the side sill openings. The Slab-Side Covered Hopper features a detailed, injection-molded body, appropriate trucks with metal wheels, body-mounted AccuMate knuckle couplers and accurate decoration. The development of the covered hopper car for the transport of bulk commodities for the agricultural, chemical, and construction industries entered a new phase in the late 1940s, when the shops of the Canadian Pacific Railroad introduced a 70-ton, 3000 cubic foot, interior braced hopper with smooth, welded sides similar in appearance to the Canadian offset side open hoppers of the era. This -slab side- design actually maximized the interior width of the car, thereby lowering the center of gravity and improving tracking stability. Cars of this design were produced from 1950-1964 by National Steel Car Company, Canadian Car and Foundry, Marine Industries and even Montreal Locomotive Works. Over the years of production, a number of different roof hatch arrangements for product loading were available, and the openings along the side sills - an early design change made by CP to give better access to the discharge mechanisms - became standard on all cars produced after 1954. These cars were a common sight on Canadian and US rails through the late 1990s hauling grain, malt, sugar, cement, or even sand for company use.
