Product Review HO Athearn Genesis ACF 3-Bay Hopper GTW - Detailed and Accurate Covered Hopper!
Covered hoppers are often used to move granular commodities that need to stay dry. Cars like this ACF 4600 cubic foot 3-bay covered hopper are often found in agricultural service, hauling grain or corn.
Grain hoppers are a fixture on North American railroads, especially during harvest season. They can be found both in manifest freights and in solid unit trains.
This highly detailed model train car from Athearn Genesis accurately captures the look of the real cars. Not just a generic car with a paint job, these Athearn cars are offered detailed for specific railroads.
Details varied on these cars depending on the production date and railroad selected options.
This particular model represents a Grand Trunk Western grain car built in 1973.
As usual, in this unboxing and product review Dan evaluates the model train's packaging, prototype accuracy, paint & detail, and how well it operates and conforms to applicable standards.
