The cars will compliment our 1:32 scale C&O and VGN H-8
class 2-6-6-6 “Allegheny” locomotives in both live steam and
electric. The hoppers will also satisfy discriminating modelers
who desire interesting rolling stock to operate behind
their 1:32 scale locomotives.
These hoppers accurately represent a group of 3-bay cars
built by Bethlehem Steel Corp. for the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railway. C&O obtained 1000 cars in series 105000-
105999, constructed on builder’s Lot # DF-152, between
January and March 1951. The cars have a rated capacity
of 2622 cu. ft., measure 40’ 8” inside length, and 41’ 9 3/4”
over strikers.
Cars decorated for the Virginian Railway will not be 100%
accurate. However, we believe our 3-bay hopper can still
serve as fine ‘stand-in’ model, particularly for those interested
in operating coal trains behind their Virginian edition
2-6-6-6 “Allegheny”.
