Hawker Siddeley 4 Bay Cylindrical Hoppers

North American Railcar Corporation is pleased to announce our next run of these popular cars. Scheduled for release in December, just in time for the holidays. This release will include four Canadian Pacific schemes with multiple road numbers available for each. Three of these schemes are new, while the fourth is a second run with new road numbers.

If you model Canadian National, we have a variety of other schemes in stock now that may be of interest to you. And keep an eye out, there will be more new products coming in the future.

CP Assigned Government Of Canada (Salmon) Version 10

This is one of the most widely seen schemes on these cars as they are owned by the government but assigned and maintained to both Canadian Pacific & Canadian National. This scheme has been offered previously with Canadian Pacific assigned cars, but on a different car body style.

This release will be for Version 10 cars and will include 12 road numbers. This car differs from our first release of this paint scheme in that the car has 11 not 17 roof supports and has its gates changed from Spiral Gog to Toggle Lock outlet gates.

For an explanation of the differences between these cars and the previously released Version 15 cars in this scheme, see the link at the bottom of this announcement before the listings.

CP Assigned Government Of Canada (Red)

This scheme has previously been released for cars assigned to Canadian National with CNWX reporting marks. No Canadian Pacific assigned Hawker Siddeley 4550 cu. ft. 4 Bay Cylindrical Hoppers were painted in this scheme originally. However a number of Salmon Government Of Canada cars were repainted in this Red Gov't of Canada CPWX paint scheme later.

This release include 12 new road numbers assigned to Canadian Pacific.

Canadian Pacific

Black w/Multimark & Horizontal Visibility Tape

This scheme has previously been released for cars in "as delivered" condition. This release is for cars that have seen years of service. We are spliting the 12 car release into 2 different 6 car assortments. One group of 6 cars with vertical and the other group of 6 cars with horizontal reflective tape.

• The paint scheme will be muted with colors that simulate years of exposure to sun
• The cars will also feature replacement roof hatches that are white, as are the fiberglass hatches commonly used to repair these cars
• Cars will have simulated horizontal yellow visibility tape as do cars that were updated in the early 2000's
• These cars have two lines of dimi data instead of the three lines that the "as delivered" cars had and have upgraded maximum car weight limits. See pictures below for dimi data difference:

This release include 6 new road numbers for Canadian Pacific.
