Delaware Lackawanna & Western would take delivery of a thousand 8-panel hoppers from ACF over a four year span beginning in 1949. DL&W was “The Road of Anthracite” and wore that motto proudly on their hoppers. Just under half of the surviving DL&W hoppers continued to wear this paint scheme through the Erie Lackawanna era.

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.)
