There's one on e-Bay at a Buy It Now price of $49.95, but only in New York Central livery.

I immediately found it by typing "Piko Hopper" into the e-Bay G-scale trains search block.

If you are talking about the 2 bay hopper in 1:32 that was originally produced by MDC/Roundhouse, that Piko bought the molds for, you can find them on ebay under MDC. Going price is usually around $35 and the trucks are normally fractured, the tabs on the sideframes that screw to the truck bolster.
