I'm looking for these MTH 2 bay cvd hoppers. They came out in 2012 & must've went fast and been fairly popular. Isn't it about time for MTH to start rerunning these hoppers?
Also,how are these cars converted to 2 rail wheelsets?
Do they have Kadee compatible coupler mounting pads?
Thanks to all that can help me here.
As Always,

I'll keep my eyes open as these were un-cataloged releases. The number should be 20-97745 . The product listing indicates it has Kadee mounting pads. My experience with MTH cars is that the couplers will be at the right height if you use the MTH 2-rail trucks in the car. The ACF covered hoppers are a bit tricky to take apart, but be patient.
AGHRMATT,
Thank you,Matt!
Yes,the MTH # was my mistake even though I had the number right before my eyes!! LOL I've found myself doing the strangest things as I get older,(not comforting),but I guess the only thing to do is keep trying.
I know MTH finally rereleased the CSX Hicubes,after how many years i'm not sure,was hoping they'd do these hoppers as well as others soon,but if it goes as long as it takes Atlas to do releases,I could be gone by the time new cars come along. I realize the China Factory shutdown has things up in the air,but planning should keep moving ahead.
I guess Atlas is going to let a 2 year cycle go by before making new car roadname announcements on their 4750s, as they did several years back.(?)
Thanks again,Matt!!
As Always,Al Hummel
