Description
Railroad Short Name: UP
These distinctive 100-ton quad hoppers match the Union Pacific specification and were built by Bethlehem Steel in the 1970s. Our UP replicas represent more than 6,400 “quad” hoppers, UP’s largest fleet of coal hoppers in company history.
The Tangent Scale Models prototype replica of the Union Pacific Bethlehem design quad hopper has never been produced in N scale, making it a distinctive addition to any freight car fleet. The stunning N Scale Quad Hopper model is loaded with detail. Produced an N Scale car that is worthy of the Tangent brand, bringing as much of our industry-leading HO Scale execution and detail as possible packed in an N Scale box.
With these cars wandering far beyond just UP rails in both unit and carload services, consider adding some of these replicas to your layout or collection.
