HO FMC 4700 Covered Hopper RRRX Primed For Grime 2140 Plastic Model (ATH-1314)

HO FMC 4700 Covered Hopper, Primed for Grime, is an HO-scale model designed to replicate a classic FMC 4700 covered hopper in a weather-ready finish. The primed-for-grime look mirrors the appearance of in-service equipment, providing a realistic starting point for adding grime and rust to suit a prototypical scene. This detailed model is well-suited for HO-scale railroads, dioramas, and display layouts, offering authentic proportions and scale fidelity.

Key features include an injection-molded, highly detailed body with factory-applied roof walk, end details, ladders and wire grab irons, plus see-through etched metal end platforms and roof walkways. The car rides on 100-ton trucks with 36-inch solid nickel-silver wheels in RP25 contours for reliable performance on common HO tracks. Body-mounted operating scale knuckle couplers enable realistic coupling, and the model is weighted for stable rolling. The Primed for Grime finish provides faded base colors that resemble prototype wear, making it an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust. A minimum radius of 18 inches ensures smooth operation on most layouts, and two outlet grate variations add visual variety; three-pack sets feature unique road numbers.
