Bluford Shops - N Scale - Offset Side 70 Ton 3-Bay Hopper - Detroit & Mackinac (D&M) - 2/Pack - Black/White (SKU 188-73912)

Available On: October 1, 2021

Legendary Michigan regional railroad Detroit & Mackinac had a substantial hopper fleet. Stone quarries were an important source of traffic for the DM and these hoppers were used to serve them. These models include “stone loads” instead of the usual coal load. At 350 miles, the DM had more route miles than many other notable regionals including Ann Arbor, Clinchfield, Green Bay & Western, and P&LE. The yellow reflector stripes were applied early on and are not the result of FRA rules imposed a quarter of a century later. This road name will be available in singles, and 2-packs, each in different road numbers.
