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.
Frisco ordered these hoppers based on a USRA design a full decade after the USRA hopper standard was first adopted. Frisco generated a surprising amount of coal from regions in eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, and western Arkansas as well as an important deposit in northern Alabama. Much of this coal was interchanged to connecting lines for delivery to steel mills. These will be available in 6 road numbers
