Explore the Walthers 910-7987 37' Covered Hopper in HO Scale, representing the GATX Corporation GACX #3252. These 37-foot, 2980 cubic-foot two-bay covered hoppers from WalthersMainline(R) are great for a wide range of HO industries. Based on prototypes introduced in the late 1980s, they're perfect for hauling cement, fracking sand, roofing granules and similar loads. The layout-ready models come with some amazing features. They're a one-time run of these road numbers, so order now as the quantity is limited. The prototypes have been in service from the late 1980s until now. The models have separately molded and applied hopper gates, correct 36' turned metal wheelsets, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. They're also ideal for use with Glacier Industrial Sands (#933-4035) and Rail-to-Road Aggregate Transfer (#933-4036), both sold separately.

Using this Walthers covered hopper is easy. Just place it on your HO scale layout tracks and start using it to haul your loads like cement, fracking sand, or roofing granules. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately molded hopper gates and the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean the wheels and the body of the hopper from time to time. Keep it in a dry and dust - free place when not in use. If you want to use it with the Glacier Industrial Sands or Rail - to - Road Aggregate Transfer, just connect them properly as per your layout design.
