PCL-K150 - HO - SRC 70 Ton Ballast Hopper Kit

Hopper 150 Kit — Strasburg Heritage Freight in HO Scale
Originally built as a New York Central 3-bay hopper, this car was converted in 1967 for ballast service before finding its long-term home at the Strasburg Rail Road in 1977. Since then, Hopper 150 has become a familiar face in the railroad’s Heritage Freight roster, serving in Maintenance of Way operations and appearing in photo charters that showcase Strasburg’s vintage work train aesthetic.
Now, for the first time in over 30 years, Paradise Car and Locomotive Shop—partnering with Accurail—brings this iconic car back to HO scale as a fully painted kit.
This model includes:
•  Factory-painted body with accurate Strasburg lettering
•  Trucks and couplers included—ready for layout integration
•  Classic 3-bay hopper profile (no ballast modifications)
•  Easy-to-assemble kit with all detail parts provided
Whether you’re building a Strasburg-themed consist, modeling a heritage work train, or simply adding a unique piece of tourist line history to your collection, Hopper 150 is ready to earn its place on your rails.
