Description
The HO RTR FMC 4700 Covered Hopper, AFEX 113 is a highly detailed model that replicates the distinctive characteristics of a real FMC 4700 covered hopper. This model features an accurately painted and printed injection molded body that ensures a realistic appearance. Among its standout details are the separately-applied brake gear, including a brake wheel and associated components, as well as factory-applied roof walk and end details that add to its realism. The trucks are equipped with 100-ton specifications and 36-inch solid machined nickel silver wheels that operate smoothly on all popular track brands.
This model is designed for superior performance, weighted appropriately, and features body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for enhanced connectivity with other rolling stock. The model boasts see-through etched metal end platforms and comes with unique road numbers, making each pack distinctive. Additionally, the model has been designed with a minimum radius of 18 inches, accommodating a variety of layouts. The Primed for Grime models highlight a look that closely resembles in-service equipment, with faded base colors to signify wear, making it an excellent starting point for weathering techniques such as adding grime and rust.
