Dear N Scale Customers:

Bluford Shops is happy to announce our second run of N scale 2-Bay Rebuilt War Emergency Hoppers. These ready-to-run cars feature: die cast 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; load; body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers; close coupling; and Fox Valley Models metal wheels.

IMPORTANT: In the past, we have packaged hopper runs such as these as singles, 2-packs and 3-packs for a total of 6 road numbers. Beginning with this announcement we are doing away with the multi-packs and each of the 6 road numbers can now be ordered separately.

The Pennsylvania Railroad began rebuilding their H31B composite hoppers into H31C all-steel cars in 1954. The rebuild program would run for seven years with most of the cars receiving this Shadow Keystone paint scheme.
