We are pleased to announce new Paint schemes and Road Numbers & an undecorated kit of our Bethlehem 3737/3716 Hopper!

MISSOURI PACIFIC - 1984 SMALL EAGLE REPAINT - 3737 Paint Scheme:

In June of 1984, the Union Pacific/Missouri Pacific organization repainted a large number of Bethlehem 3737 and 3716 hoppers into a scheme that we call “small eagle” repaints.   These cars are exceptionally accurate models of the 3737-repaint scheme with all new numbers.  We recommend you mix this paint scheme with the sister “Small Eagle” repaint scheme of the 3716 capacity cars and capture detail and nuance that is only offered by ExactRail.

Chicago & North Western (CNW) Bicentennial Paint Scheme:

The CNW #135799 hopper is an exceptionally accurate replica of the prototype bicentennial car. In 1976, Bethlehem fulfilled a 200-car order for 3737 capacity cars for the Chicago & North Western, and the bicentennial paint scheme was the last car in this order.  These cars were moved into Powder River Basin coal service, and the bicentennial car continues to serve the Union Pacific today in its bicentennial paint scheme.

 

The Chicago & North Western Historical Society (CNWHS) was looking for an exceptionally accurate replica for their 2016 annual convention, and we were more than enthusiastic when they chose us. The bicentennial paint scheme was developed exclusively for the Chicago and North Western Historical Society (CNWHS).  You can find it only at www.CNWHS.org.

ONLY AVAILABLE HERE 

Chicago & North Western (CNW) 1971 ‘As Delivered” Paint Scheme:

This all-new paint scheme represents the first delivery of 3737 capacity cars to the Chicago and North Western. These cars were purchased specifically for Powder River Basin coal traffic, which traffic segment was in rapid growth for the CNW. 

 

ExactRail’s model was developed in collaboration with the Chicago & North Western Historical Society, and it features CNW’s Ball and Bar logo and industry-leading lettering and paint details.  These cars would look great interspersed with 13500-135799 series cars Available HERE.
