I opened a couple of newly arrived Atlas O N&W and Pennsylvania H21a Hoppers. I installed the interior bracing that comes with the car. The bracing pops into the car. Do not use glue. I start each piece from the middle of the car as I place them in the holes in the side of the interior.
I tested these cars behind my Big Boy #4014 for an hour of run time, fun time. The Atlas H21a hoppers are well weighted and have the new hidden coupler plates on the Andrews Trucks. These are Atlas Master Line cars and worth the money.

Yanno, I've been playing with trains for half a century, and this is the first time I ever considered the possibility that hopper cars might have interior bracing. The intarwebs IS edumacashunal!
