HO GEN GATC 2600 Airslide Covered Hopper (ATHG-2121)

HO-scale Athearn GATC 2600 Airslide Covered Hopper is a faithful, high-detail replica of General American Transportation's 2,600-cubic-foot airslide hopper, designed for bulk-material service representations such as flour, starch, sugar, and plastics. The model captures the distinctive Airslide concept, with an air-assisted bottom design that helps the load flow smoothly, adding realism to HO-scale layouts.

The replica offers authentic model features, including three body styles, detailed underbody with outlet piping, see-through metal roof walk, factory-installed wire grab irons and brake piping, and separately applied roof hatches and brake wheel. It can be equipped with roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and is weighted for steady operation. With body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, accurate paint and printing, and an injection-molded body, this HO model is designed for reliable performance on layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches.
