N ACF4600 Covered Hopper Undecorated Phase I Low Brake (ATHG-1564)

An N-scale ACF 4600 Covered Hopper, Phase I with low brake, undecorated, is a detailed model that recreates the mid-1960s Center Flow hopper used for grain and other bulk loads. The 3-bay, rounded-body design mirrors the prototype’s unloading-focused shape, and the undecorated Phase I variant provides a faithful starting point for weathering and custom liveries.

On the rails, this model rolls on 100-ton trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels, uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and is weighted for steady, reliable running. The finish is accurately painted and printed on an injection-molded body, with a minimum turning radius of 9¾ inches. The Primed for grime treatment recreates the in-service look—faded base colors and the opportunity to build up grime and rust to suit a specific era or railroad.
