{"product_id":"athg-1533","title":"HO ACF4600 Covered Hopper WP #11989 (ATHG-1533)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO-scale ACF 4600 Covered Hopper in Western Pacific livery (WP 11989) is a detailed HO model of the 3-bay Center Flow hopper that carried grain and bulk loads in the 1960s. Built by American Car and Foundry, the real car uses a rounded body to strengthen the structure and ease gravity unloading, a design this model faithfully recreates for authentic prototyping on an HO layout. It’s an ideal centerpiece for grain trains or bulk-commodity scenes, offering a glimpse into mid-century freight service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThe model captures period detail and flexible variants, with options for early, mid, and late body styles, round or trough hatches, and a photo-etched roofwalk along with separately applied wire grab irons, steps and brake equipment. It rides on screw-mounted trucks with body-mounted scale knuckle couplers and is weighted for steady performance. Genesis 100-ton trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels and animated roller bearing caps add a sense of realism, while accurate painting and printing enhance prototype fidelity. Primed for grime, the base finish mimics faded in-service colors and provides a ready starting point for weathering to match a weathered grain train. The car’s 3-bay Center Flow design keeps to light-branchline clearances, preserving operation on typical HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608481185844,"sku":"ATHG-1533","price":56.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-1533.jpg?v=1774291662","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-1533","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
