Introduction

Bachmann 17623 HO Scale 40′ 4 Bay Open Hopper with Coal Load Nickel Plate Road NKP 34078

This Bachmann HO Scale Silver Series 40′ Quad Hopper is based on cars used in the steam and classic-diesel eras. Quad, or 4-bay, hoppers hauled everything from coal to crushed stone and other aggregates. Later in their life, some cars were transitioned into maintenance-of-way use, further extending their usefulness. Today, examples can typically be found in museums and operating on photo freights with tourist railroads.
