It features a choice of flush or overhanging roof to match the prototype, etched metal roofwalks, factory-installed wire roofwalk grab irons, and McHenry knuckle spring couplers. The car is weighted for smooth, reliable operation and finished with meticulously applied paint and printing to deliver prototypical realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eIn real service, this style of hopper entered operation in the 1960s and remained in use well into the 2000s, primarily for cement and sand shipments and occasionally as a buffer car where a bulkhead wasn’t present. On layouts, it fits with standard track curves (minimum radius of 9 3\/4 inches) and pairs well with other freight cars in yards or industrial scenes. The combination of detailed etching, authentic livery, and weighted construction makes this model a convincing addition to any roster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900006514740,"sku":"ATH17247","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH17247.jpg?v=1781304535","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath17247","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
