|
|
|
|
| The
Model: There
are 12 unique road #'s available in each paint scheme.
They are fully assembled and include the correct
"crown" style truck and Rapido style
couplers. The cars are easily converted to Micro-Trains®
using #1015-1 (assembled) or 1015 (kit) body mount couplers
(not included). Cars
come complete with coal loads! Underframes are
painted to match car body. |
| Update
- New Road #'s: Each paint scheme is offered
in 12 unique road #'s. When the initial run is sold
out, these #'s will be retired and the car will be re-issued
in 12 new #'s. . #37401
has now been released in the 4th series of road #'s. |
The
Prototype:
1911 thru 1917 70 ton H21a "quad" hoppers
were introduced for coal service. During 1922 and 1923
all early H21 hoppers were converted to H21a's by replacing
the 50 ton trucks with 70 ton trucks equiping them for
coal service and bringing the total to 36,000 H21a hopper
cars. The original 1909 thru 1930 quad hoppers were
built with the "old style" double door hopper.
During the 1930's and early 1940's all old style double-door
hoppers were replaced with the "saw tooth"
hopper, increasing capacity by 39 to 40 cubic feet making
them easier to maintain. For Pennsy fans modeling a
particular era, the following gives "starting dates"
for each of these popular paint schemes. Individual
cars, of course, lasted well beyond.
