The Atlas N 3500 Dry - Flo is a remarkable covered hopper that has been a key player in commodity hauling for over 40 years. Back in 1959, General American introduced these Dry - Flo covered hoppers to meet the market's need for larger hoppers for bulk commodities. Shippers in the 1950s really valued the covered hopper innovations as they wanted models to handle large amounts of specialized goods like oats and malt. This N Scale Dry - Flo is designed with extreme precision, replicating the prototype in every little detail. Engineered from prototype blueprints, it offers accurate body and paint details, just as you'd expect from Atlas! Features include being ready - to - run, made of injection - molded plastic, with fine - scale details, separate brake details, chemically etched brake platforms, accurate painting and printing, prototypical ride height, 70 - ton ASF ride control trucks, 33' metal wheels, and body - mounted scale couplers.

Using this Atlas N 3500 Dry - Flo covered hopper is a breeze. It's ready - to - run, so you can start using it right out of the box. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the fine - scale details. For maintenance, you can clean the plastic body with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking good. Check the wheels regularly to make sure they're rolling smoothly. If you notice any issues with the couplers or brakes, handle them carefully as they are delicate parts. Overall, just treat it with care and it'll serve you well for a long time.
