Rapido Trains 127001 HO Scale 3800 Cylindrical Hopper Canadian National with Red CN Car # Varies

The prototype cars were designed for carrying bulk commodities like powdered minerals and industrial chemicals, including cement and potash. They are 100-tons in capacity with four hopper compartments totaling 3800-3850 cubic feet and are fitted with either round or trough hatches. Examples were built by all three of the major car builders in Canada and they have traveled to every corner of Canada and the contiguous United States.

Our model has been scaled from manufacturer drawings and will include alternative parts allowing us to represent the majority of differences between the Marine Industries (MIL) and National Steel Car (NSC) constructed cars.

Features include:

• Brand new Dofasco S-2 100-ton trucks
• Two body variations with six or 11 side panels
• Three brake equipment variations and optional additional air reservoir on NSC cars (if applicable)
• Etched running boards and brake changeover platform
• Factory-installed air pipes and coupler cut levers
• Finely moulded plastic walkway supports (Marine Industries and NSC versions) and end cages
• Full separate air piping and brake equipment details
• Metal Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers are fitted as standard
