Norfolk & Western 70-Ton Covered Hopper
Pullman-Standard 70-ton two-bay covered hoppers were introduced during the mid-1950s and remained in service across North American railroads for decades. Designed to transport bulk commodities such as cement, grain, and other heavy granular materials, these versatile freight cars were commonly used in industrial service and general freight operations.
Bowser recreates this classic covered hopper in HO scale with a detailed injection-molded body, factory-applied Norfolk & Western decoration, and an open-side configuration. Free-rolling trucks with metal wheels and magnetic knuckle couplers make N&W #291177 an excellent choice for diesel-era freight trains and industrial switching operations.
