HO FMC 4700 Covered Hopper UTCX #44277 (ATH-1320)

HO FMC 4700 Covered Hopper in the UTCX livery is a meticulously detailed HO-scale freight model designed for realistic operations on a model railroad. The injection-molded body is accurately painted and printed, with factory-applied roof walk, roof hatch, end details, ladders and wire grab irons that add authentic detail. It rides on 100-ton trucks with 36" nickel-silver wheels in RP25 contours for smooth performance on most tracks, and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for authentic coupling. The model features separately applied brake gear, two outlet grate variations, and see-through etched metal end platforms and roof walkways, with weight tuned for stable operation. The minimum radius is 18 inches to support reliable curves on common layouts.

Primed for grime models, this hopper captures the look and feel of “in-service” equipment with faded base colors matched to the prototype, making it an ideal starting point for adding grime, rust and weathering. It’s a durable, realistic HO-scale addition that enhances operating sessions with authentic detailing and dependable handling.
