Prototype Background:

Airslide hoppers were specially designed to carry fine, dry bulk commodities like sugar, flour, and starch. A pressurized unloading system allowed for clean discharge while preserving product purity—making them a favorite for food-grade shippers like Lantic Sugar.

 Model Features:

• Finely molded body with detailed hatches, ladders, and underframe

• Metal wheels and magnetic knuckle couplers for smooth, reliable operation

• Fully assembled and ready to run on standard HO scale track

This 2-pack is ideal for collectors, Rio Grande enthusiasts, or anyone building a realistic HO scale freight roster. Add these beautifully detailed hoppers to your layout and bring a piece of Rocky Mountain railroading history to life!
