This Bachmann N Scale Silver Series(R) 56′ 4-Bay Center-Flow Hopper is based on cars developed by American Car & Foundry (ACF) in the mid-1960s and produced into the 1980s. Built to haul materials such as plastic pellets, animal feed, and other fine, granular products, the car was created with rapid loading and unloading in mind, coming equipped with four discharge bays on the underside of the body. These covered hoppers remain a common sight on mixed freights throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico in the 2020s andbeyond. This popular model features a detailed injection-molded body with realistic decoration, metal wheels and E-Z Mate(R) magnetic knuckle couplers.
