Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific 3-bay offset side hoppers. Prior to 1953 the railroad popularly known as Milwaukee Road used their full name “Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific” inside their familiar tilted rectangle logo. Milwaukee Road became a major originator of coal traffic in 1921 with the acquisition of the Chicago Terre Haute Southeastern. This extended Milwaukee’s reach into the coal mining regions of Southern Indiana. In addition, MILW served mines in Iowa, Illinois, Montana and even Washington. This run will be available in 6 road numbers.

Features:

• Friction bearing or roller bearing trucks as appropriate for each road name
• Fully molded air tank and valve with piping, slope sheet braces
• Body mounted brake hose detail
• Separate brake cylinder, rod and lever detail (a first on an N scale open hopper!)
• Body mounted magnetically operating couplers

• Diecast slope sheets and center sill
• Injection molded plastic sides, ends and hopper doors
