Nice locomotive! Who made it? Lionel - this was the 4-4-0 pre order. I have the older Lionel 4-4-0 packed away. They are going to look good running side by side.

Those 19th century Americans are very nice engines. It’s a great addition to your roster.👍

I just ordered a MTH Premier US Army offset hopper from Mr. Muffins. Is it Muffins, or McMuffins? I alway want to associate him with McDonald's but I think it is just Muffin. Anyhow, he's running an Easter weekend "hopper" special with 10% off existing stock using, you guessed it, hopper as a code. I don't know why I don't buy more from this guy. He is such a positive person, enthusiastic beyond belief about the hobby, and very creative when it comes to selling. Associating hoppers with the Easter bunny is just too good to pass up! Now why I purchased something that has to do with the military industrial complex on the weekend of Our Lord, eh?

Please post a photo when it arrives.

I was on eBay this week and found a set of 4 K-Line Die Cast B&O hoppers that were new old stock. I made an offer of $95 and it was accepted. I really like this set and will find a way to run them in a future holiday garden. I think it is a really nice set and the price was right. The die cast stuff is getting harder to find and the prices are going up like everything else. What do you guys think of my find? Anyone else running any of the die cast? Very nice cars Ed. I don’t have any die cast rolling stock.

I love the look and feel of the die cast hoppers. I have 17 in all in a variety of road names from Atlas, Lionel and K-Line. Agree on the pricing going up as most of those I bought a year ago were around $25 and now low prices seem to be in the $30s with some asking a lot more. I've run them with a Williams diesel 6 at time around a small layout and they sound great on the track, too.

Good find Ed. I have about a dozen of diecast hoppers from K-line mth premier and lionel. These were all bought around 2006-2007 when the cars were reasonable.
