AHM covered hopper

[Anonymous]

This old AHM hopper was later released by E&B valley which then became Robins Rails. I have one in factory paint lettered for GN,very nice! And now you see Concor has it.

The Con Cor covered hopper is [ or was ]also available from "H & D's Own Assorted Cars", from Calgary ,Alberta, Canada. These are available at hobby shops up here on a discount rack. H & D repackages Con Cor HO cars as their own.Have tried a couple of their kits and had no problem. Don't know if they distribute in the USA. Regards / Mike

I am glad I could help and I am glad the car is still around as it is more prototypical for my era than most of the versions available

Hi Dave I have found the con cor site that sells the 47ft. covered hopper. They are selling it in three roadnames plus undecpreted. But the best deal is it is only $6.77!! It realy made my week!! Also they are selling 12 an 15 panel coal hoppers for about $7.77!! In my opion it is fleet time!!! Thanks again Dave for the con cor name. I have been looking for this car for Years!! Tim

Thanks Dave. The light went on!! Do you know if they are still making them or if the tooling has been sold to anyone else?? Tim

That was an interesting model that alot of modelers used to look for at swap meets
Somewhere I had in the back of my mind that Con-Cor picked up the tooling for that particular car

Hi,

Try IHC-International Hobby Corporation. This company picked up quite a bit of old company's cars, engines and building kits.

During the mid 1960 era Assoaited Hobby Manfacutres produced a 47ft. PS2 3 or 4 bay covered hopper. It was a longer version of the MDC 32ft. version. What I would like to know is, there were a few other manufactures that produced the car after AHM. Who were they?? Thanks ahead of time. Tim
