Construct a USRA 55-Ton Hopper (Virginian #12609) with This HO Scale Plastic Model Kit by Accurail Modeling Suitable for Age 8 and Older.

Designed by the United States Railroad Administration in 1918, these cars were bought or copied by almost every railroad east of the Mississippi, and quite a few west of it. These cars lasted well into the early 1960's in regular service, and in ballast service beyond that. Used almost exclusively to haul coal; much of the time in long strings, the USRA hopper was at home almost everywhere.
