ACF 3-Bay Covered Hopper
CUMBERLAND CHEMICAL
Betriebsnummern: SHPX 60772 + 60775
Fall has fell! The chemical companies across America couldn't wait for a fleet of cylindrical covered hoppers to haul their products throughout the nation! I had to investigate CUMBERLAND CHEMICAL ! Turns out ACF designed a gorgeous prototype livery for this company that specialized in Vinyl Plastics! These cars add a striking accent to any layout being represented across the breadth of our country! FT produced a limited 2-pk. of this stunning model.
After WWII, USA Railroads were increasingly called upon to haul new and unique "modern" products over long distances. In response, American Car and Foundry (ACF) designed a tank-type "Center-Flow" covered hopper car. Here was a "Freight Car for the Future,"ready to transport sugar, cement, sand, salt, fertilizers, many types of grains, coke, starch, feeds, chemicals and plastics!
These cylindrical cars had broad sides of steel or aluminum on which the buyers or leasers could paint a "rolling billboard" similar to the treatment of the old time reefers in this country. Here we have an American Car and Foundry Cylindrical painted in a striking prototypical 1960's blue CUMBERLAND CHEMICAL livery which would have been seen in all regions of North America!
Equipped with Full Throttle couplers, trucks and metal wheelsets, a heavy weight has been added for flawless tracking. A great addition to your layout!
