Description
This is Athearn 72335 HO Scale RTR ACF Centerflow Hopper, GATX #77246. The 4-bay covered hopper first entered service in the 1960s. The cars handle loads such as diatomaceous earth, plastic pellets and similar bulk commodities. In the 1960s, American Car and Foundry introduced the Centerflow design. The Centerflow relies on the car’s rounded body to provide structural strength without the added weight of bracing, as well as making gravity unloading easier. This 4-bay car came in a 5,250-cubic foot capacity. Features: Round or trough hatches. Multiple road numbers. Fully-assembled and ready-to-run out of the box. Accurately painted and printed. Injection molded body. Separately applied brake wheel. Machined metal wheels. Screw mounted trucks. Body mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. Weighted for trouble free operation. Wheels with RP25 contours operate on Code 75, 83, 100 rail. Window packaging for easy viewing plus interior plastic blister safely holds the model for convenient storage. Minimum radius: 18in.
