Classic 55t/70t Coal Hoppers
(With Ribbed Sides and with Offset Sides)
By Michael Stephan and Golden Age of Railroading
Keeping in line with our aim to simulate the 'golden age' of U.S. railroads, we can offer you many new, scratch-built and hand-painted models of classic mid-20th century coal hoppers of various types. Already available are models of 33' two bay hoppers with offset sides, 40' three bay hoppers with offset sides, 40' three bay hoppers with 12-panel ribbed sides and 40' three bay hoppers with 14-panel ribbed sides.
You can chose from many different road names, from all over the United States, and our fleet will be growing. Future releases will increase both the number of railroads covered as well as adding new models or new configurations of older models with each new set.
You may also be interested in some of our products, which among others include some early 50' piggyback flatcars and trailers, several 50' boxcars, ore gondolas, woodchip gondolas, and many more. There is also an assortment of fine free models waiting for you, including 40' flatcars, grain hoppers and several scenery objects.
