N-scale ACF 2-Bay Centerflow Hopper from InterMountain Railway Co.
InterMountain Railway Co. announces (June 26, 2023) a new production for its popular American Car & Foundry two-bay Centerflow hopper car model. This new release includes three never-before-offered decorations: CEFX (light gray with black reporting marks), HLMX (MKT green and yellow with patched reporting marks), and Union Pacific (with “Building America” slogan and small shield). The coming Union Pacific release will present three cars with DRGW reporting marks (illustration shown above) and three will have SP reporting marks. Other road names coming are reissues of previously offered decorations with new road numbers and include BNSF (wedge logo), Burlington Northern (Cascade Green with large white herald), Chicago & North Western (yellow), Great Northern (gray with circular red and black “Rocky” herald), and Norfolk & Western (early 1970s interlocked NW decoration). Multiple road numbers will be offered for each road name. This assembled freight car model will include etch-metal roofwalks, knuckle couplers, and InterMountain’s own metal wheelsets. The release carries a $36.95 suggested retail price; this is no estimated delivery date announced (reservations are being accepted through August 31, 2023).
