These Chessie-C&O hoppers began life as offset side hoppers but in the 1960s, C&O began rebuilding them into 8-panel hoppers. In 1973, they adopted the Chessie System image. Heavy traffic and persistent car shortages led to these cars remaining in service through the 80s.

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.)
