Description

ATLAS 20006925 70 Ton Open Hopper WM - Western Maryland #71097 (Boxcar Red, yellow, white) HO Scale. Picture may show a different road number.

This familiar hopper was an industry standard on many railroads since the 1930’s. It was adopted by the AAR as a recommended design, but fell out of favor by the mid-1950s. While offering greater capacity over cars with conventional flat sides, the original open hoppers created corrosive interaction between acidic coal and the car’s joints, leading to costly rebuilding programs.

Features:

  • True scale dimensions with accurate details
  • Weighted, detailed underframes
  • Equipped with AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers
  • Trucks equipped with free-rolling metal wheels
  • Accurate painting and lettering
  • Removable coal load
