Seeing the 2-bay hoppers in the new catalog reminded me of how much I wish the die-cast offset hoppers would come back around. In my view, they are some of the best pieces of rolling stock made by Lionel. Great details and die-cast bodies. Their size allows them to work with either scale or semi-scale consists. I have a bunch of them. I assume they were expensive to make, so maybe we’ve seen the last of them, but I would love for them to show up again. It’s been about five years, so maybe we are due....
