HO FMC 4700 Covered Hopper Burlington Northern #451602 Plastic Model (ATH-1313)

HO FMC 4700 Covered Hopper Burlington Northern road number 451602 is an HO-scale plastic model designed to bring an authentic, detailed replica of the FMC 4700 class to a model railroad. The injection-molded body is faithfully painted and printed to match the prototype, making it a natural fit for Burlington Northern-themed layouts and freight trains.

Notable details include separately-applied brake gear with a complete brake system, 100-ton trucks with 36-inch solid machined nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on popular HO track, and factory-applied roof walk, roof hatch, end details, ladders and wire grab irons. See-through etched metal end platforms and roof walkways add depth, while body-mounted scale knuckle couplers and a weighted chassis promote stable handling. Two outlet grate variations and a minimum radius of 18 inches enhance layout versatility. For weathering enthusiasts, a primed-for-grime option reproduces the look of in-service equipment with faded base colors, providing a ready starting point for grime and rust.
