The Atlas N 3500 Dry-Flo is a remarkable covered hopper. For over 40 years, the 3500 Cubic Foot Dry-Flo Covered Hopper has been a key player in commodity hauling. In 1959, General American began making these hoppers to meet the demand for larger ones to handle bulk commodities. Shippers in the 1950s found covered hopper innovations very useful, wanting models that could handle more specialized commodities like oats and malt. This N Scale Dry-Flo is designed exactly like the prototype, with great attention to body and paint details. It comes with many great features. It's ready-to-run, made of injection-molded plastic, and has fine-scale details. There's separate brake detail, a chemically etched brake platform, and it's accurately painted and printed. It has a prototypical ride height, 70-Ton ASF Ride Control Trucks, 33' metal wheels, and a body-mounted scale coupler.
Using this Atlas N 3500 Dry-Flo is easy. Just set it up on your model track as it's ready-to-run. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the fine-scale details. To keep it in good shape, regularly clean the 33' metal wheels with a soft cloth. Check the brake details and the chemically etched brake platform for any signs of wear or dirt. If you notice any issues, make sure to address them right away. Store it in a dry place to prevent any rust or damage to the painted and printed parts. Enjoy your hauling adventures with this amazing covered hopper!
