Description
The cylindrical grain hopper is one of the most recognizable freight cars in Canada. Thousands of these distinctive round-bodied covered hoppers were built to move prairie grain to port, and they remain a defining feature of Canadian freight trains to this day. This Bachmann model wears the well-known Government of Canada "Canada Grain" scheme, instantly familiar to anyone who has watched grain trains roll across the prairies.
Bachmann's HO scale cylindrical grain hopper is fully assembled and ready to run, with a detailed, painted body, precision graphics and a detailed underframe. Blackened metal wheels and magnetically operated E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers let it drop straight into any HO scale freight consist — and grain hoppers always look best in long blocks, so consider adding several road numbers and schemes.
