New Model!

 
The first high-cube grain hopper to be offered as a R-T-R model in HO and N scale.

The ACF 5701 grain hopper is similar to its 5701 plastics relative except it is equipped with continuous loading hatches and gravity outlets. The larger size was needed to transport lower density grain-related and similar agricultural products (e.g. feed, sunflower seeds etc) more efficiently than the then standard 4650, 4740, and 4750 cubic foot capacity grain hoppers. These were originally built as 263,000 GRL (Gross Rail Loading) cars but many have recently been rebuilt into the higher 286,000 GRL.

Standard MSRP:
 $19.95
Undecorated MSRP: $14.95
Estimated Delivery:
 April 2008

Features:

  • Eight full-width panel body with nine weld seams
  • Etched roof walks
  • Two continuous hatch designs (applied as appropriate)
  • Longitudinal mounted air reservoir
  • Gravity outlets
  • Accurate painting and printing
