Offset-Side 3-Bay Wood Chip Hopper, Flat Side Extensions 3-Pack - Ready to R -- Canadian Pacific (black, Script Lettering)

The Bluford Shops Offset-Side 3-Bay Wood Chip Hopper is based on cars first appearing in the late 1920s and by the late 1930s had become an association of American Railroads standard design. Prototypes were built as conventional open hoppers in large groups and delivered by a number of car builders through the 1960s. Prototypes operated into the 1990s. Once the side extensions were added, typically after the 1950s, they hauled light, bulky wood chips from sawmills to paper mills. These ready-to-run cars feature die cast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly, injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors; fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines; slope sheet braces; separately molded vertical brake rod and lever assembly; body mounted brake hose detail and smooth or ribbed side extensions as appropriate. The hopper also has body-mounted magnetic knuckle couplers and friction bearing or roller bearing trucks as appropriate for each road name. Finely painted and lettere
