Offset Hoppers
S Helper Service
series of two bay open top hoppers continues with a 55 ton Offset Hopper.
Our
hopper is modeled after New York Central lots 479-H, 533-H, 534-H, 535-H & 539-H
and built at the East Rochester, NY shops from 1924 to 1927. The inside length
was 30' 6" with 2055 cu. ft capacity. Over 2000 cars were built for the MCRR,
CCC&StL, P&E and NYC. These are ready to run models featuring injection molded
rugged ABS plastic bodies (showing the interior ribs) and detail parts with
a diecast Zamac centersill, opening hopper doors, music wire drop hand grabs,
AB brakes with Ajax brake wheel and housing. The trucks are the 50 ton AAR
type
"Y"s in die cast metal, with Celcon® bearings, blackened metal hirail
wheels and AF compatible operating couplers. Each car also comes with 4 code110
NMRA RP-25 metal wheelsets and the mounting holes for the KD #802 couplers,
making the change over to scale an easy and swift operation.
