N ACF 2970 Covered Hopper for CSXT (ATHGN24682)

This CSXT-liveried ACF 2970 2-Bay Covered Hopper is a detailed N-scale model that recreates a mid-century bulk freight car used to haul dense loads such as cement and sand. With a 2,970 cubic foot capacity and the Centerflow design, the hopper captures the rounded body and gravity unloading characteristics of the prototype, making it a realistic centerpiece for CSXT-inspired layouts.

Details include photo-etched roof walks, separately applied wire grab irons and brake piping, and a finely rendered underbody. The model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and is weighted for smooth, reliable running. Painted and printed decoration reproduces authentic CSXT livery, and a minimum curve radius of 11 inches ensures compatibility with common layouts. The Centerflow-inspired rounded body reflects the original's structural strength and gravity unloading, while the two-bay configuration and 2,970 cubic foot capacity faithfully match the prototype.
