These ready-to-run cars feature prepainted and lettered, injection-molded styrene bodies. Models include free-rolling Delrin(R) trucks with contoured axles, truck-mounted Magne-Matic(R) couplers and diecast metal underframes. Cars also feature movable hopper gates. The prototype of this model is part of a 500-car fleet that was delivered in September of 1953. The slogan on the side of the car clarifies that this 1,950 cubic foot, 100,000 pound capacity, class HM hopper was used to carry the high quality anthracite, which is cleaner burning than bituminous coal.
