HO GATX 4180 Airslide Hopper - CSX #201661 (BAC70621)

HO-scale GATX 4180 Airslide Hopper in CSX road number 201661 is an authentic reproduction of a classic bulk-hopper car. Originally built by the General American Transportation Corporation and produced in large numbers between 1963 and 1980, these cars carried bulk commodities and often appeared as buffer cars on unit trains. This model captures the car’s distinctive silhouette and detailing, giving HO-scale layouts a convincing centerpiece for a freight roster.

Designed for HO-scale layouts, it features magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers for smooth coupling, blackened machined metal wheels with RP25-contoured profiles, and separately applied details with crisp paint graphics that reproduce the car’s authentic look. Whether displayed in a yard scene or pulling a longer freight consist, it adds historical realism, durability, and visual appeal to any model railroad collection.
