Walthers Mainline presents the 910 - 7842c CP Canadian Pacific #384942 59 - foot Cylindrical Hopper in HO Scale. These vivid models are perfect for creating a complete unit train as they were designed to move grain and various bulk loads. Introduced in 1972 for grain and potash transport, they're based on National Steel Car prototypes with a 4550 - cubic - foot cargo capacity. Over the years, they've sported a wide array of colorful paint and lettering, and you can still spot them across North America today. These well - detailed, fully assembled hoppers are affordably priced for easy fleet expansion. Key features include: a one - time run of these road numbers (order now as quantity is limited), a model of a 4550 - cubic - foot National Steel Car, ready - to - run design, thousands in use in North American grain and potash service since 1972, appropriate trough or round loading hatches, four different car numbers per road name, see - through running boards, detailed brake gear, roof hatches and end ladders, correct 36' RP - 25 metal wheelsets, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Using this Walthers HO Scale cylindrical hopper is a breeze. Just connect it to your model train using the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers and it's ready to roll on your tracks. When handling the hopper, be gentle to avoid damaging the detailed parts like the brake gear, roof hatches, and end ladders. To keep it in good condition, regularly clean the 36' RP - 25 metal wheelsets with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dirt buildup. If you notice any loose parts, use a small amount of appropriate glue to reattach them. Since it's a limited - quantity item, store it carefully when not in use to preserve its value.
