Description

Z Scale Full Throttle Cumberland Chemical 51' Cylindrical Hopper Set
Road numbers SHPX 60772 and SHPX 60775. These cylindrical cars had broad sides of steel or aluminum on which the buyers or leasers could paint a "rolling billboard" similar to the treatment of the old time reefers in this country. Here we have an American Car and Foundry Cylindrical painted in a striking prototypical 1960's blue CUMBERLAND CHEMICAL livery which would have been seen in all regions of North America!
These models were manufactured with great details by Bowser Mfg., painted to a slight sheen and equipped with the new Bowser Roller Bearing trucks featuring super-gliding blackened metal wheels, and knuckle couplers.
Prototype information from the manufacturer:
ACF Center Flow Cylindricals. Due to many early mergers of railroad companies, ACF industries represented in most state of the Northern US , east of the Mississippi River. They are responsible for many innovative freight and passenger cars using modern on modern railroads. After WWII, USA railroads were increasingly called upon to haul new and unique, or modern products if you will over long distances. American Car & Foundry (ACF) designed a center flow tank type called the center flow covered hopper car. This was a freight car for the future, ready to transport sugar, cement, sand, salt fertilizers, many different grains, coke, starch feeds, chemicals and plastics.
