{"product_id":"athgn24697","title":"N ACF 2970 Covered Hopper Model (ATHGN24697)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eACF 2970 Two-Bay Covered Hopper, N scale, is a detailed model of a mid-century centerflow hopper designed for dense bulk loads such as cement and sand. This 2,970-cubic-foot car entered service in the 1950s, and its rounded body design provided structural strength while aiding gravity unloading. The model reproduces the two-bay configuration and capacity, with MoPac livery available as a variant for realistic layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitted with photo-etched roof walks, separately applied wire grab irons and brake piping, and a detailed underbody, the model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and is weighted for steady operation. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and it is designed to run on radii as small as 11 inches on typical N-scale track. This representation reflects the Centerflow design introduced by American Car and Foundry in the 1960s, which used a rounded body to provide strength and gravity unloading—captured here for model railroad enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47570201313332,"sku":"ATHGN24697","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHGN24697.jpg?v=1773175545","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athgn24697","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
