Union Pacific HK-70-1 Hopper Cars
Author: turbine

The Union Pacific Historical Society has released what is believed to be the most accurate plastic Hart Select Ballast Car so far. UPHS member Dick Harley went thru his records and drawings to ensure the lettering, numbering and paint color are as close to prototype as possible The Atlas Master Line cars are decorated in the 1954 paint scheme with individual grabs, knuckle style couplers and metal wheels. The 1954 cars come in three numbers, a 1955 paint scheme un-numbered and a 1969 paint scheme un-numbered are also available. The cars are available as single cars and in 3 packs and 6 packs on the website at uphs.org.

Nice cars. Colors and lettering look perfect. Too bad UPHS can't be bothered to message its members that the cars are available.

The cars just went up on the website this afternoon and the UPHS is working on emailing all members to let them know they are now available.
