The ATLAS N Scale 3500 Cubic Foot Dry-Flo Covered Hopper is a remarkable model representing Union Pacific #19233, part #150 - 50004032. This dry - flo covered hopper was a key commodity - hauling vehicle for over 40 years. In 1959, General American began making these hoppers to meet the demand for larger ones that could handle bulk goods. Shippers loved the innovations of the 1950s covered hoppers, which were great for handling large amounts of specialized commodities like oats and malt. This N Scale model is engineered from prototype blueprints, with accurate body and paint details, just as you'd expect from Atlas. Features include being ready - to - run, made of injection - molded plastic, having fine - scale details, separate brake details, a chemically etched brake platform, accurate painting and printing, a prototypical ride height, 70 - ton ASF ride control trucks, 33' metal wheels, and a body - mounted scale coupler.

Using your ATLAS N Scale 3500 Cubic Foot Dry - Flo Covered Hopper is easy. It's ready - to - run right out of the box, so you can quickly add it to your N Scale train setup. When handling it, be gentle to avoid damaging the fine - scale details. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels regularly. If you notice any dirt or debris on the chemically etched brake platform, use a small brush to carefully remove it. Store the model in a cool, dry place to prevent any damage from humidity. Also, make sure the body - mounted scale coupler is clean and in good condition for smooth connections with other train cars.
