Prototype InformationThe WalthersMainline HO Scale ACF designed 1,958 cu. ft. 2-Bay Covered Hopper is ideal for your late steam and early diesel-era layout. Modeled with the distinctive W shape of its prototype, a pioneering ACF 2-bay covered hopper is based on a car first developed by American Car & Foundry in the late 1930s. The car soon became a standardized design that was copied by other manufacturers during the 1940s and 1950s. Thousands of these hoppers hauled cement, sand, powdered chemicals and other dry bulk materials into the 1970s.
