HO AAR 70-ton Triple Hopper Unlettered Oxide Red (BLI7386)

The HO AAR 70-ton Triple Hopper is a highly detailed model representing a significant piece of freight car history. Made to an exacting scale from prototype blueprints, this model captures fine rivet details both inside and outside, providing a realistic appearance. Wire grab irons and improved truck mounting design enhance its authenticity. It features two brake housing options with separate brake lines and hoses, along with three appropriate brake wheel options. The newly-tooled 70-ton trucks, available in solid bearing and roller bearing designs, are equipped with brake beam detail and metal wheelsets that reflect prototypical wheel face contours.

This model comes factory-equipped with metal Kadee-compatible knuckle couplers and features a removable ABS coal load, along with a detailed and decorated interior. The decoration is prototypically accurate, with fine printing that reproduces builders' stencils, trust lettering, and other minor lettering. Additionally, this model accurately reflects the features of the original cars, which were widely used across North America to transport various bulk commodities. This unlettered version is painted in a classic oxide red finish, perfect for custom decoration or addition to any freight car fleet.
