Description: This item is an E&B Valley HO model kit of a Erie Railroad two bay covered hopper. The reporting marks for this model are ERIE 21190 with a built date of 8-46. The model comes painted black with white lettering. The car features the Erie diamond logo in a small size to fit between the car side ribs. This car is numbered in the 21100-21199 series which consisted of 100 cars. Erie had 50 more such hoppers numbered 21000-21049 and 100 more numbered 21200-21299. For a total of 250 "LO" type hoppers with the dimensions of this model.Cars of this type commonly handled high quality sand, diatomaceous earth, cement and other substances that needed to be kept dry and that could be emptied through the two discharge chutes on the bottom of the car. Vibrators were sometime attached to the outside of the discharge chutes to aid in emptying substances which tended to clump. Brackets were added to the discharge chutes of cars used with these clumping prone cargoes.Cars of this vintage lack Kadee couplers, metal wheels, etched running boards and accurate metal ASF A-3 70 ton trucks. Car weight is included, but more is recommended. Plan your upgrades accordingly. This kit is an excellent start to a fine model. This item ships USPS Ground Advantage by itself.
