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.

Central of Georgia rebuilt their entire fleet of War Emergency hoppers between 1951 and 1952. They rolled out of the shops in new freight car red paint (replacing the black used on the composite version) and new lettering. Aside from a few cars damaged in wrecks, the fleet was intact when Southern Railway bought control of the CoG in 1963 with many cars remaining in service well into the ‘70s.
