Description: BLUFORD SHOPS / READY to RUN Stock number: 63141 - 'N' Scale - Brand new store stock - Original box, Etc CLINCHFIELD RAILROAD 2-Bay War Emergency Composite Hopper Car No. 48472These 2-Bay War Emergency Composite Hopper cars were built during the Second World War with wood siding and slope sheets at the direction of the War Production Board in hopes of saving as much steel as possible for the war effort. This was especially the case with hoppers that were usually built with copper-bearing steel to resist corrosion. The car sides were built with the Pratt truss design using a combination of vertical and diagonal ribs.Clinchfield Railroad received this group of 500 hoppers from American Car & Foundry in 1944. CRR loaded both steam coal (uséd in boilers) and metalurgical coal (uséd to make steel.) The former tended to move to the rapidly industrializing South and the latter moved north into the Industrial Midwest. They also handed off coal to C&O and N&W for the ports at Newport News and Norfolk.These ready-to-run N scale cars feature: die cast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly; injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors; fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines; body mounted brake hose detail; removeable load; body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers; close coupling; and metal wheels.Note: Pictures may be of another Road Number.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Shipping and handling will be to your location in the United States.
