ATLAS 50006331 3500 Dry-Flo 3 bay hopper Bakelite Plastics UCPX #50211 (red, white) N Scale

The ATLAS Master 50006331 General American 3500 Dry-Flo 3-Bay Covered Hopper in N Scale is made of Bakelite Plastics, with UCPX #50211 in red and white. The picture might show a different road number. For over 40 years, the 3500 Cubic Foot Dry-Flo Covered Hopper was a key for hauling commodities. In 1959, General American began making these hoppers to meet the demand for larger ones for bulk commodities. Innovations in the 1950s were great for shippers who needed hoppers for more specialized goods like oats and malt. This N Scale Dry-Flo is designed to match the prototype precisely. Engineered from prototype blueprints, it has accurate body and paint details, just as you'd expect from Atlas! Features include ready-to-run, injection-molded plastic, fine-scale detail, separate brake detail, chemically etched brake platform, accurate painting/printing, prototypical ride height, 70-Ton ASF Ride Control Trucks, 33' metal wheels, and a body-mounted scale coupler.

Using this ATLAS N Scale 3500 Dry-Flo 3-Bay Covered Hopper is easy as it's ready-to-run. You can directly add it to your model train setup. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the fine-scale details and separate brake parts. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and painted areas. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape and paint quality. Check the 70-Ton ASF Ride Control Trucks and 33' metal wheels regularly to make sure they're working smoothly. If you notice any loose parts, handle them carefully and consider getting them fixed by a professional.
