Even most of the new streamlined passenger cars have gone plastic. Golden Gate Depot is the only one that has made aluminum Passenger cars and they are pricey!
The aluminum hoppers can be found for sale on "the bay" once in a blue moon. I can just imagine Lionel using real metal for the pipes on the underside of the Pressuraide hoppers. The thought of that is making my head spin.
