Bowser 44106 HO Scale 70 Ton Offset Hopper Burlington CB&Q 172400

This 70-ton offset three-bay hopper captures the essence of Burlington coal and mineral service from the late steam era through the early diesel years. The CB&Q rostered large numbers of offset hoppers like this to move coal, aggregates, and industrial products across its extensive network, serving both local industries and long-distance interchange traffic. The offset-side design reflects proven late-1930s and 1940s construction, built for durability and efficient unloading in demanding service.
