N AC F2970 Covered Hopper BN #435581 Plastic Model (ATHGN24687)

This N-scale Burlington Northern 2-bay Centerflow covered hopper, BN road number 435581, faithfully reproduces a mid-century bulk car designed for cement, sand and other dense loads. The Centerflow design, introduced in the 1960s, features a rounded body for strength and gravity unloading, with a capacity of about 2,970 cubic feet.

Details include photo-etched roof walks, separately applied wire grab irons and brake piping, plus an accurately modeled underbody. The model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and is weighted for smooth, reliable operation. The injection-molded body is painted and printed to deliver realistic Burlington Northern decoration, and the design provides solid performance on typical N-scale layouts with an 11-inch minimum radius.
