HO FMC 4700 Covered Hopper FURX #818522 (ATH-2488)

This HO-scale FMC 4700 Covered Hopper in the FURX livery is a detailed model designed to reproduce a real freight car for HO layouts. It combines accurate painting with a highly detailed injection-molded body to deliver authentic freight-car character for operations, switching, or display on a model railroad.

On the rails, it rides on 100-ton trucks with 36-inch nickel-silver wheels and RP25 contours for smooth performance on common tracks. Factory-applied roof details—roof walk, hatch, end details, ladders, and wire grab irons—add realism, while see-through etched end platforms and roof walkways heighten the look. Body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers provide prototypical coupling, and the model is weighted for stable running. Features include two outlet grate variations, a minimum radius of 18 inches, and unique road numbers in each 3-pack. A Primed for Grime version duplicates the look of an in-service car, with faded base colors and serves as a ready starting point for adding grime and rust.
