They have a website you can order from - but it is just about the worst website in the world of model trains.  NO pictures. So you have to know what you want and have seen it before to be safe in your order.

Des Plaines Hobbies regularly sells Lionel cylindrical hoppers for $55.99. The sale claimed 30% off Lionel locomotives and rolling stock, but the fine print was that the discount came off the manufacturer's recommended selling price. That means that instead of paying the regular $55.99 for a hopper, the store was offering 30% off the MSRP of $79.99, bringing the price down to $55.99 for a savings of....?

Funny thing I have noticed about the cylindrical hoppers...I don't see anyone blowing them out. Ro still has most all, if not all the scheams produced listed for sale at their normal price. (57 bucks) NS paint scheams too.  I would have thought, like the NS heritage locos, the cylindrical hoppers would have been blown out too.

At the past Oct. and recent April York, and the Big E show, some dealers had the Canadien schemes at around $50. Heritage schemes were as low as $40.
