Atlas 20005785 ACF 3 Bay Covered Hopper WAB - Wabash Flag Logo #33037 HO Scale

This Atlas HO scale 20005785 ACF 3-bay covered hopper features the Wabash flag logo #33037. Note that the picture might show a different road number. Introduced in 1961 by ACF® for hauling sand, clay, salt, grain, and bulk plastics, the cylindrical hopper was the first commercially successful tank-type covered hopper car design. Even today, some of the over 4,000 cars of this type built by 1966 are still in service across the US. Key features include see-through roof walks, blackened metal wheels, free-rolling 100-ton trucks, detailed brake gear, AccuMate® couplers, and fine painting and printing.

Using this model train hopper is easy. Simply place it on your HO scale model train track and couple it with other cars using the AccuMate® couplers. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the see - through roof walks and detailed brake gear. For maintenance, clean the blackened metal wheels regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep them rolling smoothly. You can also use a mild cleaner on the body if it gets dirty, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. Store the hopper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any damage to the fine painting and printing.
