Introduced in 1961 by ACF®, this cylindrical hopper was designed to haul sand, clay, salt, grain, and bulk plastics. It was the first commercially successful tank - type covered hopper car design. Even today, you can still spot some of the over 4,000 cars of this type built before 1966 in use across the US. It features see - through roof walks, blackened metal wheels, free - rolling 100 - ton trucks, detailed brake gear, AccuMate® couplers, and fine painting and printing.

Using this HO scale model is easy. Just place it on your model train track and let it roll along. When handling, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the see - through roof walks. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet as it could damage the paint and metal parts. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any warping or corrosion. If you want to change the couplers or make any adjustments, use small tools carefully. Enjoy your model train journey with this amazing Atlas covered hopper!
