Description
HO-scale AAR 70-Ton Triple Hopper Four-Car Pack in CP livery captures the classic bulk-hopper look used across North American railroads. The four uniquely numbered cars reproduce the distinctive 70-ton triple-hopper design, historically used to haul coal, gravel, coke, and other bulk commodities, making them ideal for realistic yard scenes or mainline runs on an HO layout.
Meticulous detailing brings the prototype to life, with scale-accurate dimensions, rivet work, wire grab irons, and separate brake lines and hoses. The model includes two brake-housing options and three brake-wheel styles, two newly-tooled 70-ton trucks (solid-bearing and roller-bearing), and an improved mounting design. A brake-test stencil is printed on the reservoir where appropriate, and metal wheelsets with true wheel-face contours enhance realism. Factory-installed Kadee-compatible knuckle couplers, a removable ABS coal load, and a decorated interior further boost authenticity, while precise decorationâ€â€stencils, trust lettering, repack data, and center-sill reporting marksâ€â€completes the look across four uniquely numbered cars.
