That is a Chesapeake & Ohio 48' Three-Bay Open-Top Hopper 6-Pack you have referenced.
Those are Standard O Scale Open-Top Hoppers.
They have Die-Cast Trucks.
You will need either a heavy Steam Locomotive or a Dual-Motor Diesel-Electric Locomotive to pull them.

i am still getting used to the difference between lionel's traditional size and scale size.
i found a hopper set on e-bay lionel 6-17147.
i beleive it is fromthe 1999 cat.
does anyone know if this is the traditional size or the larger scale size.
thanks for all the help!
