33' Twin Bay Hopper w/Offset Side -- GN #73476 (Boxcar Red,white lettering)

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. This 33' twin bay hopper with offset side is painted box car red with white lettering on sides and ends. The large 'Rocky' herald is white with a black disk. From a 500 hundred car fleet built by the Standard Steel Car Company in October 1931, #73476 was serviced July of 1950. These hoppers were repainted between 1948 and 1956 receiving the new 'Great Northern Railway' herald in place of the 'See America First-Glacier National Park' herald which was applied between 1940 and 1947 (see MTL#55040 included in the Burlington Northern Merger Pack #22102). Product 55040 and 55060 were seen in service together as repairs and repaintings occurred at different times over the years.
