HO GEN GATC 2600 Airslide Covered Hopper GACX/Nebraska Consolidated Mills #42397 (ATHG-2136)

HO scale GATC 2600 Airslide Covered Hopper is a detailed model designed for HO-scale display and operation, reproducing General American Transportation Company's 2,600-cubic-foot airslide hopper. It wears the GACX/Nebraska Consolidated Mills livery and captures the airslide design, including the two narrow, steep-sided troughs and the air-permeable bottom that fluidizes the load for unloading through the outlets.

With three body styles available, this model features a highly detailed underbody with outlet piping, see-through roof walk, factory-installed wire grab irons and brake piping, and separately applied round roof hatches and brake wheel. It can be fitted with roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks and machined metal RP25 wheels, is weighted for steady performance, and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers with precise paint and printing. It fits HO layouts on curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches, making it a realistic addition to any setup.
