The older CMC and CMT hopper was stick-built of many small pieces, which gave it a cobbled-together look which was also impractical and uneconomical to build. Our new design has clean, crisp lines and currently comes in three attractive versions, with more heralds planned for future release. We are able to offer these hoppers at a price that makes it possible for a collector to acquire several to make up a realistic train of hopper cars.
