Dear N Scale Modelers: one of our customers recently wondered if we could find any of the ACF 70 Ton Closed Side Hoppers that Kato did in 1998 and 1999. One of our distributors in Canada had a very small quantity of these long out of print cars. Here is alist of the items we found. Please remember we only have a few of each so they will be available on a first come basis.

Prototype Information ?
  • Manufactured by American Car & Foundry.
  • First introduced in 1940's, built throughout 1950's and operated well in to 1980's, this hopper is one of the most popular non-boxcar pieces of equipment to roll on North American rails.
  • These versatile hoppers were used to transport granular bulk commodities, such as sand, concrete, powdered lime, sugar.
  • Some are still in service today, primarily as Maintenance of Way (MOW) service.
Model Features ?
  • Accurate scaled reproduction of prototype.
  • Crisp printing.
  • Optimally weighted to prevent derailments on moderately imperfect track without hindering locomotive performance.
  • Highly detailed ASF "Ride Control" truck.
  • Authentic looking, semi-automatic KATO Knuckle Coupler.
  • Different car numbers between sets for roads with more than one set.
