The Rapido 127029 NSC 3800cuft Covered Hopper in HO Scale, TH&B Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo #1537, is back for a third time! With new road numbers and paint schemes, it aims to replace those wrongly - decorated 4550 cu.ft. hopper models. These prototype cars were built to carry bulk goods like powdered minerals and industrial chemicals. They have a 100 - ton capacity, four hopper compartments with 3800 - 3850 cubic feet, and come with either 4 round or continuous trough hatches. Many major Canadian car builders were involved, and they've traveled across Canada and the US. The Rapido model is scaled from manufacturer drawings and can represent differences between MIL and NSC cars. It features round - or trough - hatch designs, correct trucks, various body and brake equipment options, etched running boards, and much more.

Using your Rapido HO scale 3800 cu.ft. covered hopper is easy. Just place it on your model train layout and let it add realism to your setup. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate etched parts like the running boards and brake crossover platform. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean off dust from time to time. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of model glue to secure them. Keep the model away from sharp objects and excessive moisture to ensure its long - lasting performance.
