Here's a Hershey On30

No info found for what you asked, sorry (but brought post to top)

A number of big industries such as Ford, had their own hopper and other cars with the company label on it. Wouldn't surprise me if Hershey did too.

My biggest beef with toy trains is that they fail to label if the car is a fantasy scheme. I'm not against fantasy schemes, just that they be labeled as such.

Hershey HERX Prototype pic?

There are several examples of what appear to be models of prototypes that carry the HERX or Hershey Foods Inc. roadname. Does anyone have a picture of the prototype or know where a prototype photo might be found? Thanks in advance for the help.
