Beginning in the late 50s, wood chips went from
something to be disposed of to a valuable commodity. Since wood chips are less
dense than coal, gravel and other hopper loads, many railroads added high
extensions to standard hoppers for this service. The extentions were simple
affairs, either rib sided or flat sided that were welded to the top chords of
standard hoppers.
Like our coal hoppers, these N scale models will come
ready-to-run with knuckle couplers, and loads. First draft artwork is show here
and is subject to improvement by our crack research staff! |

Part #: BS-16061 - Seaboard Air Line single car - Road # TBA - Offset Side Wood Chip Hopper - Flat Side Extensions - NEW BODY STYLE
Seaboard Air Line Offset Side Wood Chip Hopper with Flat Side Extensions. Like their neighbors Southern and Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard linked the Southeastern U.S. with the rail gateway of Richmond, Virginia. Seaboard had long been considered the weakest of the three but after WWII, they steadily gained strength. In fact, they were one of a handful of railroads to own more freight cars in the 1960s (about 29,000) than they did in the 1920s despite the huge gains made in car utilization.

Canadian National Offset Side Wood Chip Hopper with Flat Side Extensions. Canadian National also modified standard offset side hoppers for wood chip service in the mid-60s however, their extensions were made largely of plywood with steel reinforcing around the edges.

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
