HO ACF 2970 Covered Hopper EL Primed For Grime #21350 (ATH-1680)

The HO ACF 2970 Covered Hopper is a highly detailed model representing the Erie Lackawanna (EL) with a Primed For Grime finish, featuring the number #21350. This model is designed for enhanced realism and performance on your layout.

It comes equipped with a photo-etched metal roof walk and detailed outlets, offering a true-to-life appearance. Users can choose between round or trough hatches and will appreciate the separately applied brake gear, which includes a brake wheel, brake cylinder, valve, and air reservoir complete with wire brake plumbing. The model also features body-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers.

Factory applied wire grab irons and stirrup steps provide additional realism, while the precision machined metal wheels conform to RP25 contours for superior track performance. The screw mounted truck ensures stability and ease of assembly, and the hopper is weighted for optimum performance. It requires a minimum radius of 18 inches for operation.

This Primed For Grime model captures the essence of in-service equipment with faded base colors that match the prototype, making it the perfect starting point for hobbyists looking to add grime and rust effects to their model.
