ACF FLEXI-FLO HOPPER CAR - Number: NAHX 1008
Car number above is NOT car for sale.
Based on cars used in the U.S. and Canada since their construction between 1964 and 1966, prototypes for the Rapido Trains HO Scale ACF PD3500 Flexi Flo Covered Hopper was an early innovation in pressure-differential commodity unloading. New York Central was the largest customer for these unique cars with a fleet of 220 ordered in several groups and another seven were ordered by Shippers Car Line SHPX. The cars operated in various PC and CR patched schemes until they were transferred to Conrail's Merchants Despatch subsidiary and many were sold with the cars moving on to service through out the continent. These models replicate several prototype variations of the prototypes. Other features of this ACF PD3500 Flexi Flo Covered Hopper model include full underbody detail including discharge piping, coupler cut levers and other details, metal Macdonald-Cartier magnetic knuckle couplers.

Canadian shipping and handling, the same for all foreign countries will be at United States First Class mail rates. That means around $15.00. Assume 1 pound for shipping weight. Please do not ask for shipping quote. Go to the USPS web site, use First Class Mail, 1 pound and 11735 as the shipping zip code. That will be the shipping price rounded up. No cents.
Multiple purchases will be combined to save on shipping, BUT the added weight does add something to the cost of shipping and handling.
