Lionel 6-17019 O Gauge Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 50 Ton Offset Hopper #78299 EX/Box

Here we have a Lionel 6-17019 O Gauge Santa Fe 50 Ton Offset Hopper #78299. As early as the late 1920s, the American Association of Railroads began designing standardized 50-ton open hopper cars. These hoppers would ride the rails for decades. The A.A.R. standard 50-ton open hopper was classified HM, which designated it as a self-clearing open top car with two divided hoppers, fixed ends, fixed sides and doors hinged crosswise to allow dumping between the rails. The cars became widespread on coal hauling railroads throughout the country, seeing service behind steam and diesel locomotives. In the tradition of the Lionel PS-1 boxcars, the scale-sized, metal Lionel Offset Hoppers include many separately applied details and, for a more prototypical look, ride on accurately detailed trucks without a hanging trigger disc. This hopper features die-cast metal sprung trucks, die-cast metal operating knuckle couplers, metal wheels and axles.
