{"product_id":"athgn23395","title":"N GATC 2600 Airslide Hopper PRR \/ GACX #44144 (ATHGN23395)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn authentic scale model of the GATC 2600 cu ft Airslide hopper, designed to represent midÃ¢â‚¬â€˜century bulkÃ¢â‚¬â€˜commodity service on PRR and GACX fleets. The Airslide concept uses two narrow, steepÃ¢â‚¬â€˜sided troughs with an airÃ¢â‚¬â€˜permeable bottom that fluidizes the load so flour, starch, sugar and plastics can flow smoothly through the outlets. The model captures the carÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s details with a highly detailed underbody and outlet piping, separately applied round roof hatches and a brake wheel, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a choice of roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks. It features bodyÃ¢â‚¬â€˜mounted McHenry knuckle couplers, factoryÃ¢â‚¬â€˜installed brake piping and wire grab irons, and a precise paint and print finish. It runs on all popular track brands and ships in a clear jewel box for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional realism includes gravity or gravityÃ¢â‚¬â€˜pneumatic outlets, rectangular or oval shaker brackets, and a weighted body for dependable performance. The injectionÃ¢â‚¬â€˜molded, highly detailed body is built for durability and realism, with a finish that reflects the AirslideÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s distinctive loadÃ¢â‚¬â€˜control design. Some 2600 cu ft cars were permanently paired into twoÃ¢â‚¬â€˜unit drawbar sets to reach 5200 cu ft, a historical detail that adds depth to bulkÃ¢â‚¬â€˜freight scenes. This model is a faithful homage to a pivotal era of railroading, ideal for authentic PRR or GACX era layouts and smooth, reliable operation on the layout. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899984330804,"sku":"ATHGN23395","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHGN23395.jpg?v=1781301260","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athgn23395","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
