Description
This is an MTH 30-75546 O Pittsburg & Shawmut Line 4-Bay Hopper Car. Unlike equipment that carried a variety of loads, like boxcars, flatcars, and gondolas, this four-bay hopper was designed specifically for one cargo: bituminous coal. Its capacity matched the volume of coal that a pair of typical 70-ton freight trucks could carry. And its slope sheets – the angled floors at either end of the car – were set at precisely the angle at which coal would flow easily from its bottom doors. (Covered grain hoppers, for example, require much steeper slope sheets). This features Intricately Detailed, Durable ABS Body, Colorful, Attractive Paint Scheme, Metal Wheels and Axles, Diecast 4-Wheel Trucks, Fast-Angle Wheel Sets, Needle-Point Axles, (2) Operating Diecast Metal Couplers, Detailed Brake Wheel, Near-Scale Proportions, Unit Measures: 11 3/4 x 2 1/2 x 2 3/4, Operates On O-27 Curves.
