This N Scale Atlas 50006110 ACF 3560 Center-Flow Covered Hopper features the Georgia Pacific 1000 livery in dark green and gray. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The three-compartment ACF® 3560 is designed for transporting high-density dry bulk goods weighing 50 - 60 pounds per cubic foot, like salt, fertilizer, starch, bauxite, and clay. This 100-ton car fits into the smallest modern Plate B dimensions. It comes with great features such as V-frame ends, side sheet weld seams, roping staples, five roof hatches, body-mounted brake gear, true scale dimensions with accurate details, weighted and detailed underframes, and AccuMate® knuckle couplers.
Using this N Scale Atlas ACF 3560 Center-Flow Covered Hopper is easy. You can place it on your model train track just like any other car. When loading it, you can use small amounts of materials that mimic the real - world cargo like salt or fertilizer. Make sure to handle it gently to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the roof hatches and couplers. For maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to clean the body and underframe. If the couplers seem to be loose or not working properly, you can carefully adjust them. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
