ATLAS 50006337 3500 Dry-Flo 3 bay hopper ATSF Santa Fe #300694 (gray, black) N Scale

ATLAS Master presents the General American 3500 Dry-Flo 3-Bay Covered Hopper in N Scale, ATSF Santa Fe #300694 in gray and black. The picture might show a different road number. The 3500 Cubic Foot Dry-Flo Covered Hopper was a key commodity hauler for over 40 years. In 1959, General American began making these hoppers to meet customer needs for larger ones for bulk commodities. 1950s innovations in covered hoppers were great for shippers who wanted to handle more specialized commodities like oats and malt. These models are designed to match the prototype precisely! Engineered from prototype blueprints, the N Scale Dry-Flo pays accurate attention to body and paint details, as expected 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 body-mounted scale coupler.

Using this N Scale ATSF Santa Fe hopper is a breeze - it's Ready-To-Run, so you can start using it right away. When handling it, be gentle to avoid any damage to the fine-scale details. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean the body and wheels. If the paint gets chipped, you can touch it up carefully. Keep it in a dry place to prevent any rust on the metal parts. And always make sure the coupler is in good condition for smooth operation.
