This is Bluford Shops 73611 70T 3Bay Ofst Hpr AS&W. 70-ton offset-side 3-bay hopper with load, ready to run. American Steel & Wire (black). American Steel & Wire received a modest fleet of hoppers from Greenville in January of 1948. It is likely that these cars were used to haul coke to feed ASW's blast furnaces. In this context, coke is coal that has been baked in the absence of oxygen, a process that drives out the impurities that would contaminate the steel.
Its key features are: Ready-to-run Diecast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly Injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors Fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines Slope sheet braces Separately molded vertical brake rod and lever assembly (a first on an N scale open hopper!)
