In real service, the Airslide concept fluidizes the load by pumping air through a permeable bottom, allowing the cargo to flow easily through the hopper outlets for unloading. Introduced in the early 1950s, these 2,600-cubic-foot single-bay cars were built for CB\u0026amp;Q and other railroads, with some later paired into two-car sets to extend capacity. This model captures a CB\u0026amp;Q-era version of the car, making it a historically accurate centerpiece for a freight-era layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eModel features mirror the prototype with three body styles, a detailed underbody including outlet piping, and a see-through metal roof walk. It includes factory-installed wire grab irons and brake piping, separately applied round roof hatches and brake wheel, and a weighted chassis for better tracking. The model rides on either roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks, with machined metal RP25 wheels and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. Accurate paint and printing and a highly detailed injection-molded body complete the look, while an 18-inch minimum radius keeps operation smooth on typical HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn Genesis (ATHG)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608804147252,"sku":"ATHG-2131","price":47.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG-2131.jpg?v=1774292445","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg-2131","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
