This familiar hopper was an industry standard on many railroads since the 1930s. 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 include true scale dimensions with accurate details; weighted, detailed underframes; equipped with AccuMate knuckle couplers; trucks equipped with free-roll metal wheels; accurate painting and lettering; removable coal load.
