N GATC 2600 Airslide Hopper Revere / GACX Model (ATHGN23398)

An N-scale Airslide Hopper in Revere / GACX livery is a detailed model of the 2,600-cubic-foot Airslide covered hopper, designed to reproduce mid‑century bulk-carrier railroading. The Airslide concept uses an air‑permeable bottom and airflow to fluidize the load for smooth discharge, a characteristic you’d expect from flour, sugar, and plastics shipments of the era. This model reflects the prototype’s history and the Revere/GACX presentation, with some cars historically paired into two‑unit sets for 5,200 cu ft capacity.

The model features a highly detailed injection-molded body and accurate painting, with a detailed underbody including outlet piping. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and can be fitted with roller-bearing or Bettendorf trucks. Factory-installed wire grab irons, brake piping, and separately applied round roof hatches and brake wheel add realism, while body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers ensure prototypical operation. Weighted for steady performance and compatible with all popular brands of track, it ships in a clear jewel box for safe storage.
