N ACF 2970 Covered Hopper CSXT #220634 (ATHGN24680)

This HO-scale model reproduces the ACF 2970 two-bay covered hopper in CSX Transportation livery, road number 220634, representing a 2,970-cubic-foot Centerflow car used to haul bulk loads such as cement and sand. It’s a realistic addition to freight yard or mainline scenes.

Designed for authentic operation and detail, the model features photo-etched roof walks, separately applied wire grab irons and brake piping, a detailed underbody, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. It is weighted for smooth, stable running and decorated with precise paint and lettering. A minimum turning radius of 11 inches makes it compatible with standard HO layouts. The design reflects the car’s 1950s origins as a two-bay hopper, with the 1960s Centerflow upgrade introducing a rounded, stronger body and gravity unloading for bulk cargos.
