{"product_id":"ath12955","title":"N ACF 4600 3-Bay Center Flow Hopper Model (ATH12955)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eHO-scale 3-bay CenterFlow covered hopper, reproducing American Car and Foundry’s 4,600 cubic foot bulk-car design used for grain and similar loads. The CenterFlow rounded body provides structural strength and enables gravity unloading without a traditional center sill. This model arrives fully assembled and ready to run, with accurate painting and lettering to match the prototype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThree body styles illustrate the design’s evolution—from early cars with a high-side ladder and brake wheel to later configurations with lower wheels, ladders at both ends, and double side stiffeners (post-1971). Features include round or trough hatches, a photo-etched roofwalk, detailed outlets, a separately applied brake wheel, screw-mounted trucks, 100-ton trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers weighted for smooth operation. With a minimum radius of 9¾ inches, it’s ready to roll on typical HO layouts. This 4,600 cubic foot capacity CenterFlow car was introduced in the mid-1960s to modernize bulk grain service and remains a familiar sight on grain trains today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899162116148,"sku":"ATH12955","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH12955.jpg?v=1781278023","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath12955","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
