Description

General American Transportation Corporation produced more than 5,000 of these 4180 cubic foot Airslide covered hoppers between 1963 and 1980 as a response to customer demand for larger covered hoppers capable of handling bulk commodities. These very common cars continued General American’s “Airslide” family innovations from the 1950s, and proved valuable to bulk shippers who wanted a larger car than the earlier-design 2600 cubic foot cars provided.

These cars went to many railroads and private owners both when produced by GATC, as well as later in their service lives.

True scale and true to life miniature model for adult collectors.
Not suitable for children under 14 years.
