HO 56' Hopper Continental Polymers #3000 (BAC17510)

The HO 56' Hopper Continental Polymers #3000 is a notable model developed by American Car & Foundry in the mid-1960s. This 56' 4-Bay Center-Flow Hopper has become a staple of the North American rail network due to its robust design and versatility.

Designed specifically for hauling materials like plastic pellets, animal feed, and other fine, granular products, this car facilitates rapid loading and unloading with its four discharge bays located on the underside. Although production of this model ceased in the early 1980s, it continues to be a frequent sight on mixed freights across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The model features accurate detailing, free-rolling metal wheels with RP25 contours, and E-Z Mate Mark II knuckle couplers. Additionally, it is available in a variety of vibrant paint schemes, making it a fantastic addition for collectors and hobbyists alike.
