New Page 1  We are proud to introduce a new production of Broadway Limited's newest HO scale freight car project - AAR 70-ton 3-bay hopper cars. These hoppers were everywhere on the railroads - at their peak they made up about 6% of all open hoppers, and approximately 1.5% of the entire North American freight car fleet. The first of these cars appeared in the late 1930's, and several were still in service in the 1980's! In all, over 33,000 cars were built to this design, by numerous manufacturers and for over 30 railroads. The cars were used to transport coal, gravel, coke, and other bulk commodities across North America.  See below for more model features! Model Features: Model accurately scaled from prototype blueprints Fine rivet detail throughout interior and exterior Wire grab irons Separate brake line and brake hoses Two brake housing options - Ajax and Miner Three brake wheel options applied appropriately - Ajax, Miner, and Modern Two newly-tooled 70-ton trucks - solid bearing and roller bearing Improved truck mounting design Brake shoe and brake beam detail on trucks Metal wheelsets feature prototypical wheel face contours Factory equipped with metal Kadee-compatible knuckle couplers Removable ABS coal load. Detailed and decorated interior.
