Here are a couple of pictures of one of the new PP&L die-cast hoppers. Overall, I’m pretty impressed with them. The cars come well packed, the graphics are crisp, the coal load is realistic, the trucks are sprung, and there are no thumbtack couplers. The couplers do not appear to be the problematic ones used on the recent milk cars.
One word of warning... these cars are quite hefty, weighing in at nearly two and a half pounds!!!
