Review INTERMOUNTAIN Hopper Wheat Canadian Board Ho Cylindrical Covered

Intermountain Railroad Company Hopper Car - 45116-49 Wheat Load : CAN stored in Cylindrical Covered Hopper

The Intermountain Railways Company Hopper Car - 45116-49 is an exquisite addition to any model railroad collection, perfectly representing the design and functionality of Canadian National Railway (CN) wheat grain hopper cars. This detailed and highly accurate model showcases the distinctive features of the CN hopper cars that were widely used in transporting wheat grains.

From the exterior, this hopper car displays an authentic appearance with its cylindrical shape and covered top, which protected the grain from moisture and weather damage. The overall length of the car is approximately 32 inches with a height of around 12 inches. Detailed and correctly-sized ladders with walkways on both sides faithfully replicate the real-life hopper design. Bracing and piping along the length of the car add to its realistic appearance. Additionally, the car comes with accurate window and coupler configurations.

Inside the hopper, you'll find carefully designed E-Z Melt waste grain excluder discs. These discs helped keep the hopper clean by preventing waste grain from accumulating on the car floor. The floor is made from corrugated metal planking and is supported by ribs, faithfully representing its real-life counterpart.

The underframe of the car is intricately detailed, featuring hydraulic shock absorbers, detailed brake components, and a multi-link suspension system. These features create an authentic and lifelike appearance, adding to the overall realism of the model. The car comes equipped with maintenance-of-way slides as per prototype specifications.

A set of impressive Tru-Close knuckle couplers is embedded onto the underframe, allowing you to securely connect it to other cars in your model train configuration with ease. The 33" RP-25 Metal Wheels have accurately profiled flanges and rolls smoothly along the rails.

Each Intermountain Railways Company Hopper Car - 45116-49 is meticulously painted and decorated in the authentic colors and markings of the actual CN wheat hopper cars. This unique, detailed finish adds to the visual appeal and historical authenticity of the model.

These hopper cars are designed for HO Scale model railroads and can accommodate a wide range of other HO scale model trains, trucks, or other railroad accessories. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for enhancing the aesthetic value of your train sets or expanding your model railroad layout.

With its superior craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and accuracy in design, the Intermountain Railways Company Hopper Car - 45116-49 is an ideal choice for those seeking an authentic and visually stunning wheat grain hopper car model. This model represents an essential addition to any model railroad collection, bringing historical accuracy and realism to the tracks.

The Hopper 45116-49 wheeled Canadian National (CN) grain hopper car model by Intermountain is a popular choice among model railroaders for its authentic detail and scale accuracy. However, like any model railway product, it comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages that potential buyers should consider before making a purchase.

1. Detailed Model: Intermountain is known for their high-quality and detailed models. The Hopper 45116-49 grain hopper accurately represents CN hoppers from the late 1970s to the early 1980s with authentic features such as an angular hopper head, true-to-life couplers, and rivet detail.

2. Multiple Applications: This model hopper is versatile and can be used not only for wheat but for other grains such as corn, soybean, and oats. It also fits well with other manufacturers' hoppers for interchangeability.

3. Large Load Capacity: With a 45,000-pound capacity in HO scale, this hopper can effectively carry a large volume of grain.

4. Easy-to-Install Accessories: The Hopper 45116-49 comes with detailed and easily installable internal ladder rungs, which adds to the overall appearance of the model.

1. Price: Compared to some other HO scale hopper models, the Hopper 45116-49-B by Intermountain is relatively more expensive due to its high-quality and fine detail.

2. Small Plastic Couplers: The model comes with small plastic couplers which might not fit properly with various track systems or other manufacturer's couplers. To address this issue, purchasers can replace these with aftermarket couplers like Kadee or MRC.

3. Assembly Required: Some buyers have reported that construction of this Intermountain model involves detailed and time-consuming assembly procedures - sanding, painting, and weathering, which might not be ideal for enthusiasts who prefer ready-to-run models.

The Hopper 45116-49 grain hopper car model by Intermountain delivers on its promise of realistic and intricate detail, making it a valuable addition to any model railway layout. However, its price point and assembly requirements are significant factors that potential buyers must consider before making a purchase. These aspects can increase the overall investment and effort required by hobbyists.

With careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages listed above, I would recommend the Hopper 45116-49 for those model railway enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, detailed, and historically accurate grain hopper model. They should be prepared to invest more time and resources into the assembly process and potential coupling replacement while enjoying its excellence in replicating the authentic look and feel of the CN grain hoppers from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.
