Description
 
The early development of covered hoppers grew out of a need to move dry cement in a more cost effective manner. The early awkward and labor-intensive method of movement was via boxcars with 80 pound bags. The solution was a hopper car with a roof added and redesigned bays to handle cement discharge rather than coal (a steeper slope was needed). East coast railroads started experimenting in the early 1930's by putting covers on coal hoppers to move diverse commodities, such as sand, cement, fluorspar and slate.
 
Features
  • Complete with 4 extra code 110 wheelsets for operating on track smaller than code 125 or with open frog turnouts built to NASG scale standards. Also included are 2 truck bolster spacers for making your hopper the correct height to use with the #1295 couplers (not included).
