HO RTR FMC 4700 Covered Hopper VUHX #101 (ATH81589)

The HO RTR FMC 4700 Covered Hopper, VUHX #101, is a finely detailed model that provides an authentic representation of freight cars used in real-life operations. Crafted with care, this model features a variety of separately-applied components including brake gear, brake wheel housing, brake lever, and a triple valve designed to enhance realism. The covered hopper is built on 100-ton trucks equipped with solid machined nickel silver wheels that operate smoothly across all popular track brands.

Additional details such as factory-applied roof walks, roof hatches, end details, ladders, and wire grab irons contribute to the model's lifelike appearance. With two outlet grate variations and a body molded in a highly detailed form, this model is designed both for display and for performance on the tracks. The body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and the weighted structure ensure optimum operation. For enthusiasts interested in weathering their models, the Primed for Grime feature offers a faded and realistic color scheme perfect for adding grime and rust effects.
