O Gauge Three-Bay Hopper from AtlasThe RF&P rostered a fleet of open hoppers used for aggregate service between various locations on the railroad. Photographs show that it was not uncommon to find a rake of six to twelve of these cars in local freights north of Doswell, making them a perfect pike-sized proposition for the modeler. These O gauge hoppers from Atlas come in two numbers (8202 or 8219), and are available in either three-rail or two-rail configuration. Price is $70 for two-rail and $65 for three-rail.

HO Scale Kadee Modernized 50' PS-1 Boxcar #2334
The Society has a supply of the Kadee production run of PS-1 cushioned underframe 50 foot boxcar on which the Society's exclusive series is based. The Kadee production car differs from the Society's run in that it represents car #2334 as modified in the early 1970s to be compliant with regulations banning running boards on boxcar roofs, but it retains the high ladders and brake wheel, as many of the 2301 series did until the end of their service lives. It has a 10' Superior door, which many cars received as a replacement for the original Pullman-Standard aluminum doors. The paint and lettering depicts the cars as they appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The lettering features the block RF&P initials on the left side of the door, and the spelled out "Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac" on the right side of the door.
