Description
The 2-bay offset-side hopper is a classic coal- and aggregate-hauling car from the steam-to-diesel transition era. Atlas’s 1:87 HO model captures the prototype in Canadian Pacific’s pre-1968 “Script” lettering as road number #357017.
Detail features: separately-applied wire grabs and brake levers, accurate underframe and air-brake gear, free-rolling 33″ metal wheels on roller-bearing trucks, body-mount AccuMate-style magnetic knuckle couplers.

- Pair with companion road number #357093 (20005894) for a matched CP Script two-car set.
