Atlas HO Trainman®AAR 70 Ton 3-Bay Open Hopper

This familiar hopper was an industry standard on many railroads since the 1930’s. It was adopted by the AAR as a recommended design, but fell out of favor by the mid-1950s. While offering greater capacity over cars with conventional flat sides, the original open hoppers created corrosive interaction between acidic coal and the car’s joints, leading to costly rebuilding programs.

Features:

  • True scale dimensions with accurate details
  • Weighted, detailed underframes
  • Equipped with AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers
  • Trucks equipped with free-rolling metal wheels
  • Accurate painting and lettering
  • Removable coal load

AccuMate® couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.
