MTH Premier 100 Ton Hopper Cars for Canada were left out of the Catalog.

I was doing a product searach for Canadian National rolling stock and discovered that the MTH Premier 100 Ton Hopper Cars were left out of the Volume 2 Catalog. I have been waiting for years for the release of these cars, and they are not in the print catalog. These are Cylindrical 4-Bay Covered Hoppers built in Canada for Hauling Canadian Grain all around North America.

There are 6 Paint Schemes and 12 Road Numbers for each scheme.
This is enough for a solid unit train.

www.mth-railking.com is the place to go.

In the product description enter 100 Ton Hopper Car

If you are into Northern U.S. and Canadian railroads remember to order your Canadian Grain Hoppers or you will be kicking yourself later.

[#oops]

Why and how did these get left out of the new MTH Catalog?

Notice that there are a total of 84 road numbers. How many can a local hobby store stock? 84 of these 100 Ton Hoppers will fill up a lot of the smaller stores.

I would love to order some of these cars, I live 3 hours from Canada, so I think that would count [:)]. I definitely like the look of them too....wonder what the minimum radius of the cars are? Either way, I would love to grab some of these!

if you order them, check the spelling of Canada before you pay for them.

The Minimum Radius is O42 on 3-Rail tracks.

The Premier Line 100 Ton Hoppers are among the longest Covered Hoppers available for O Scale 3-Rail Operators.
