N GATC 2600 Airslide Hopper D&H #12802 (ATHGN23388)

The GATC 2600 Airslide Covered Hopper is a highly detailed scale model that reproduces a 2,600-cubic-foot airslide hopper used for bulk cargo. Based on mid‑century Airslide technology, the car uses two narrow, steep‑sided bays with an air‑permeable bottom that allows air to fluidize the load for smooth discharge through the hopper outlets. This D&H‑liveried version captures the historic look of the era, making it a standout addition to any freight roster.

Detail is evident throughout, from the underbody with outlet piping to options for rectangular or oval shaker brackets and gravity or gravity‑pneumatic outlets. The model rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and can be fitted with roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks. Factory‑installed wire grab irons and brake piping, separately applied roof hatches and brake wheel, and body‑mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers add realism. Weighted for stable performance, it features accurate paint and printing on a highly detailed injection‑molded body, runs on most popular track brands, and comes in a clear jewel box for storage.
