Norfolk And Western Hopper Car

This car can hold huge loads of almost any kind of material. Sand, coal, gravel, you name it. It empties by chutes underneath its chassis. It has two trucks using eight wheels to carry its load. There are ladders and handrails for easy access by railroad personnel. This model comes with a fake coal load, or you can take that out and put in the real thing. Plus, the chutes actually work. This highly detailed model runs under the Northern and Western roadname with a burgandy paint color, similar to the Pennsylvania Engine and the First Class Coaches. As you might guess, this car will find its home on freight trains of all types pulled by all sorts of engines.
