Walthers Mainline presents an amazing 59' Cylindrical Hopper in HO scale, specifically the Scoular SCOX #1511. It sports a vibrant combination of yellow, brown, and green colors with a Double - Corn Logo. These models are perfect for transporting grain and various bulk loads, allowing you to easily create a complete unit train. Introduced in 1972 for grain and potash handling, they're based on National Steel Car prototypes with a 4550 - cubic - foot cargo capacity. You can still spot these colorful hoppers all over North America. These well - detailed, fully - assembled models are affordably priced, making fleet expansion a breeze. 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, being ready to run right out of the box, thousands in use from 1972 to today in North American grain and potash service, appropriate trough or round loading hatches, four different car numbers for each roadname, 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 59' Cylindrical Hopper is a piece of cake. Just place it on your HO scale track, and it's ready to roll. It's fully assembled, so there's no need for any complicated setup. When it comes to transporting loads, you can use it to move grain or other bulk items in your model train setup. As for maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint or the details. When handling the hopper, be careful with the see - through running boards and the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. They're delicate parts. If you notice any loose parts, it's best to contact the manufacturer for repair advice. Also, since it's a limited - quantity item, make sure to store it properly when not in use to keep it in good condition for a long time.
