HO GATX 4180 Airslide Hopper (BAC70622)

HO-scale GATX 4180 Airslide Hopper is a faithful representation of the General American Transportation Corporation bulk hopper used from the 1960s through the 1980s. These cars remain in service on some layouts and are often seen as buffer cars between locomotives and revenue cars on unit oil and ethanol trains. The model arrives with precision detailing, blackened metal wheels, and magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers for smooth, reliable coupling on a layout.

Equipped with a combination of new and existing tooling and separately applied details, the model presents a highly detailed painted body with sharp graphics and blackened machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for authentic scale appearance and smooth rolling. The magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers enable reliable coupling and uncoupling, helping to create realistic, trouble-free freight consists on HO layouts.
