I sure hope it is an M&Ms Factory. I own a lot of Menards M&Ms Boxcars and Hoppers. One thing that bothers me, the Open M&M Hoppers do not have any load in them. So, if Menards did not make a Load for the Hopper, why not include a coal load or top with hatches on the car. The hoppers are Yellow or Tuscan. I will use Lionel or Menards Hopper Car Coal Loads. I will put the real M&Ms in my hopper car coal load (turned upside down). I have a lot of extra Lionel Hopper Car Coal Loads and when turned upside down, they fit into a quad hopper perfectly. The only problem with that is if you derail the hopper car, the M&Ms will go all over the ground. Best to spray the M&Ms (that you put in the upside down coal load) with some kind of clear paint to seal and hold them in if a derailment happens. Sincerely yours, railbear601
PS: If you know anything about the M&Ms Candy, every Christmas, M&Ms Candy come in bags of Red/Green Candy for the Christmas Look....mmmmmmmmmm
