HO 56' Centerflow Hopper, Shell (BAC17534)

The HO 56' Centerflow Hopper, Shell (BAC17534) is a meticulously crafted model developed from the robust designs of the American Car & Foundry (ACF) in the mid-1960s. This model replicates the iconic 56' 4-Bay Center-Flow Hopper, a car that has become a common sight across the North American rail network, known for its versatility and enduring reliability.

Designed to transport a variety of materials including plastic pellets, animal feed, and other fine granular products, this hopper features four discharge bays for efficient loading and unloading. Its production spanned until the early 1980s, and these cars are still prevalent in mixed freight operations throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The Bachmann 56' ACF Center-Flow Hopper model is equipped with remarkable details, featuring free-rolling metal wheels with RP25 contours, E-Z Mate Mark II knuckle couplers, and is available in a variety of vibrant paint schemes, making it an excellent addition for both collectors and hobbyists.
