RIVET COUNTER SXT80256 Scale Gatc 4566-4180 Airslide

RIVET COUNTER HO SCALE GATC 4566/4180 AIRSLIDE

Our Rivet Counter™ brand strives to create the most accurately detailed model trains imaginable. The real-world counterpart is meticulously researched to ensure prototype fidelity. Each model features numerous factory applied parts including railroad, road number, and era-specific™ details whenever possible.
GATC introduced the 4180 Cubic Foot Airslide® covered hopper in 1963, with a patented “Airslide” unloading system designed for commodities like flour and sugar. The system uses pressurized air to fluidize the commodity and aid unloading. Production of the 4180cf Airslide continued until 1980 when it was replaced by larger designs such as the 4566cf Airslide.
The 4566 was built in 1978 for bulk commodities like chemicals, starch, sugar, and flour. Nearly 1,000 4566 Airslides were built for various customers before production ended in 1985. Nowadays, some 4566s continue to serve their original purpose, while others have been relegated to buffer service for crude oil and ethanol unit trains after being replaced by larger volume covered hopper designs.
