Reasonable Cost for Atlas O Diecast Fishbelly Hoppers?

Its a lot of weight to pull if you have a bunch of them

*In Theory* it depends on the production run, as the MSRP of these things has run up over time. If its the most recent run, the MSRP is north of $80, so $70 is a "Street price" for that run, assuming its NIB, etc...). Check the item numbers and check when the car is from. But generally, I would say 50ish is probably right for those cars. The bits are kinda fragile even though the body is indestructible. Easy to break something just removing it from the box. And being diecast, you cant really have a ton of them unless you have an unlimited supply of traction tires.

I will look into that later, thanks.

I have three, was hoping to get a few more for a 5-6 car consist. Too much for a newer (2019-ish) Legacy steam engine?

6? No. 50? buy plastic.
