Williams GMFRT-1 N&W 4 bay covered hopper The box is marked "The Crown Edition Line"
This model is a very basic O-27 4 bay covered hopper that was made in China. The model has metal non-sprung trucks. Stamped metal pieces were provided for attaching the trucks. The model is supplied with an extra "coal" load.
Comments: The car has a brakewheel mounted on both ends. The brake cylinder mounted on the end does not appear to be correct for this car. The coal load will be used on another car since this is a covered hopper.
Note: This model will be upgraded with modified brake gear later.
Photos show the original hopper model as built.
