Pennsy's Home-built Hoppers in N Scale from Bowser
Pennsy's first all-steel hoppers were built in 1898 by Pressed Steel Car
Co. but design flaws and production backlogs convinced Pennsy to construct
their own improved version, the home-built GLa class. These hoppers became
a PRR standard with over 30,000 built between 1904 and 1920. The cars
lasted into the 1960s and a few remained in work train service into the
1980s. The GLa class was one of the most common coal hoppers in North
America, so they'll look right at home on your steam- or early diesel-era
layout. Ready-to-run GLa Hoppers from Bowser come equipped with AccuMate(R)
knuckle couplers and feature authentic paint schemes.
