N ACF 2970 Covered Hopper BN #435534 Plastic Model (ATHGN24686)

An HO-scale replica of the ACF 2970 two-bay covered hopper in Burlington Northern livery (BN 435534). This model reflects the Centerflow design introduced in the 1960s, featuring a rounded body that strengthens the car while easing gravity unloading. With a capacity of 2,970 cubic feet, the car was built to carry dense bulk loads such as cement or sand.

Meticulously detailed, the model features an injection-molded body, photo-etched roof walks, and separately applied wire grab irons and brake piping. It rides on body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, is weighted for reliable running, and is painted and printed for realistic decoration. Designed for standard layouts with an 11-inch minimum radius, it offers smooth operation and an authentic presence on any freight scene.
