Its an FMC hopper, much like the ones first produced by Model Diecasting and now by Athearn.
My instinct says they did make a blue-box kit that included either the Grain hatches/underframe, or the pneumatic type hatches and underframe. unfortuneately, i cannot seem to find an example of this kit with the latter details, so i might b e crazy, and you may still need to kit bash.
Here is a photo of the grain kit. Athearn sells an RTR version, but you might be better off starting from the kit.
