ALASKA RAILROAD 

3-Bay Offset Side Hopper Car No. 14308

The Bluford Shops 70-Ton Offset-Side 3-Bay Hopper with Load is based on cars first appearing in the late 1920s and by the late 1930s had become an association of American Railroads standard design. Prototypes were built in large groups and delivered by a number of car builders through the 1960s. Prototypes operated into the 1980s. Used for hauling coal and aggregates they operated behind steam and classic diesels. 

These ready-to-run cars feature die cast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly, injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors; fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines; slope sheet braces; separately molded vertical brake rod and lever assembly; body mounted brake hose detail and molded coal load. The hopper also has body-mounted magnetic knuckle couplers and friction bearing or roller bearing trucks as appropriate for each road name. Finely painted and lettered, the 70-Ton Offset-Side 3-Bay Hopper is available in several road numbers per road name. 

Note: Pictures may be of another Road Number.

Shipping and handling will be to your location in the United States. Regardless of which state the winner is located in.

Canadian shipping and handling, the same for almost all foreign countries will be at United States First Class mail rates. That means around $15.00. Assume 6 ounces for shipping weight. Please do not ask for shipping quote. Go to the USPS web site, use First Class Mail, 6 ounces and 11735 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.  

Shipping is a day or two after payment is received. Thank you for your purchase.
