Akron Canton & Youngstown picked up 200 of these cars that had just been refurbished by Greenville Steel Car in 1953. Another 100 were purchased secondhand from L&N. AC&Y ran from the greater Akron, Ohio area 171 miles west to connections at Delphos. They were a small railroad but vital, particularly to the area’s tire and rubber industry. N&W purchased the AC&Y in 1964 but the company remained separate until finally merged in 1982.

These ready-to-run cars will feature:

• diecast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly
• injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors
• fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines
• body mounted brake hose detail
• coal load
• lever-style hand brake
• body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers
• close coupling
• Fox Valley Models metal wheels

All road names will be available in multiple road numbers. For instance, order a single, a 2-pack and a 3-pack to get all six road numbers on a run. (Some road names will be available in just three road numbers.)
