Clinchfield received their 8-panel hoppers as part of a large rebuilding project undertaken by parent L&N at their South Louisville Shops in the late 1960s. Clinchfield was jointly owned by L&N and Atlantic Coast Line (SCL after 1967) and generated huge volumes of coal traffic. Coal loads moved off the Clinchfield in every direction for metallurgical use, power generation and export. During this period, CRR became one of the busiest railroads per mile of track in the nation.

These ready-to-run cars will feature:

• diecast 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
• coal load
• lever-style hand brake
• body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers
• close coupling
• Fox Valley Models metal wheels

All road names will be available in multiple road numbers. For instance, order a single, a 2-pack and a 3-pack to get all six road numbers on a run. (Some road names will be available in just three road numbers.)
