The Bluford
Shops N scale 14-Panel 3-Bay Hopper returns in nine new paint
schemes. The design of this hopper was spearheaded by New York
Central in the late 50s as they sought an alternative to
the AAR 70-ton rib side hopper design. In the end, this 14-Panel
design proved to be popular with more railroads than the AAR design.
Our N scale models feature diecast slope sheet/hopper bay assemblies
for plenty of weight even when running empty, removeable
loads, metal wheels, magnetically operating knuckle couplers,
separately applied brake detail and carefully researched paint
schemes.
