Introduced in the 1930s, the 55 Ton Fishbelly Hopper car was a common sight and formed the backbone of some of the great coal hauling railroads. Never before produced in O scale, Atlas O's version captures the nostalgia and heritage of the unique model in true 1/4" scale. A new addition to the Steam Era Classic series, this new hopper will look right at home behind your heavy-hauling steam or first and second generation diesel locos.
