Ho car info??

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Its an FMC hopper, much like the ones first produced by Model Diecasting and now by Athearn.

No, it absolutely isn't.

Context is a beautiful thing. They were trying to find which old kit works for this protoype. It may not be the same, but that is the closest starting point short of starting from scratch.

Also, if the original poster is seeing these cars parked at a plastics place, then obviously the car isn't what you think it is either.
