Dear HO Scale Customers;

- Orders Due! -

Atlas has announced the 70 Ton Hart Ballast Cars

Built by ACF from 1940-1953, the 70-Ton Hart Ballast Cars were formally known as “Hart Selective Service Ballast Cars”, due to the use of specially-designed doors which allowed the lading to be discharged one of three ways: to the center of the rails, to the center and sides of the rails, or to the side of the rails only.

Features:

• Die-cast chassis

• Ready-to-run

• 70-ton friction-bearing trucks

• Separately-applied side-dump doors which can be positioned open or closed

• Separately-applied grab irons, coupler cut lever, train line hose, and air brake piping detail

• Fully detailed interior, including cross-bracing and side stiffeners

• AccuMate Proto-Coupler ready (screws for Proto-coupler will be included in the packaging)

• Accurate painting and printing

AccuMate couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.
