This HO-scale 3-Bay Covered Hopper is a meticulously detailed freight car for realistic operation on an HO layout. Finished in a primed-for-grime scheme that duplicates the in-service look, it offers a natural starting point for adding grime and rust to match a prototype roster.

Features include separately applied round roof hatches, factory-applied wire grab irons, and a full underframe with air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing. The model rides on 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours, uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, and is weighted for smooth, reliable operation. A photo-etched roof walk and detailed outlets enhance realism, and the minimum curve radius is 18 inches, making it compatible with most HO layouts.
