GATX Pressure Slide Hoppers
HO Scale Resin Kit

Q Connection, in cooperation with Wright Trak Railroad Models, has released our first ever resin freight car kit, the GATX Pressure Slide Hoppers. These superior-quality HO scale craftsman kits are prototypically correct for either the original CB&Q or SAL versions.  Order the version you want to model to get the appropriate instructions.  The kits are designed as an undecorated, one piece cast resin tank body with two end caps.  Stainless steel photo etchings, Athearn® A-3 Ride Control roller bearing trucks, Kadee® #58 couplers and Hi-Tech Details® brake hoses are included.  The kits are of the same high quality that has been maintained by the toolmakers of Wright Trak Railroad Models since 2001.  These cars have only been available previously in brass, most recently from Railway Classics at $285.00 each.  The price of this awesome kit is only $66.99 an you may order them below.
