Walthers Rolling Stock steel-sheathed war emergency hopper, ready to run, Platinum Line™. Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio #733130 (black). World War II brought the famous war emergency hoppers (only the N\u0026amp;W and MP bought the 70-ton version) and several composite versions of existing designs. After the war, AC\u0026amp;F found some brief success with a welded outside-stake hopper design, but the weld joints broke under the stress of loading and unloading rather than flexing like riveted joints. The offset-side design also had problems: the inside stakes were more prone to corrosion, and they suffered worse from loading and unloading stress than outside-staked hoppers. The design waned in the 1950s and was all but abandoned for new cars by 1960. Some roads (notably the C\u0026amp;O, the B\u0026amp;O, and the L\u0026amp;N) made the best of a bad situation by rebuilding their offset-side cars with all new outside-staked sides in the late 1950s and early 1960s.\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eHeavy die cast underframe for excellent tracking.\u003cbr\u003eFactory-installed grab irons.\u003cbr\u003eDetailed underbody brake equipment.\u003cbr\u003eRP-25 metal wheels.\u003cbr\u003eProto MAX™ metal knuckle couplers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
