Prior to World War II when steel was at a premium, many railroads including the Nickel Plate turned to composite hoppers with wooden sides to preserve steel for the likely war effort. This N scale Bluford Shops hopper faithfully recreates that iconic hopper that supported the conservation of steel. This ready-to-run hopper features crisp lettering, knuckle couplers and steel wheels. Help that bygone effort by ordering yours today!
Please note that the hopper comes in four different numbers. Use the drop down minu to order each different number if you want more than one car.
