ACF 4600 Covered Hopper RI #800427 (ATHG-1552)

An HO-scale model of the ACF 4600 Center Flow Covered Hopper, this three-bay car reproduces the mid-1960s design built by American Car and Foundry for grain and other bulk loads. The rounded Center Flow body supports gravity unloading, and the model captures three primary body styles—early, mid, and late—with variations in ladders, brake wheels, and stiffeners, along with round or trough hatches and a photo-etched roofwalk for authentic detail.

Riding on screw-mounted 100-ton trucks with 36-inch machined wheels and body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers, the model is weighted for smooth tracking and finished with accurate paint and printing. It features a highly detailed injection-molded body and is primed for grime, providing a natural starting point for weathering to recreate the in-service grain-hauler look. With a minimum radius of 9¾ inches, it suits a wide range of hobby-layout curves.
