Product Information:
Bluford Shops is announcing a new group of runs on our N scale USRA 30’6” 2-Bay Hopper. 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; coal load; lever-style hand brake; body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers; close coupling; and metal wheels.
Colorado & Southern, a large subsidiary of Burlington Route, had the longest lived fleet of USRA hoppers. By the mid-60s, many of these cars were assigned to sugar beet service. For this run, we present the fleet with “beet loading only” stencils and a beet load. These cars also have a later version of the Everywhere West stencil than that seen on our first C&S run. These will be available in 6 road numbers
