I assume Bowser did their research right. Those hoppers are on their new products list. When were quad hoppers introduced?

Bowser over 20 years ago produced models of the Pennsy hoppers including N&W and VGN versions.  They were all red!

I was under the same impression that some PRR quad hoppers were leased to both N&W and the VGN during the war. Bowser offers both N&W & VGN on their PRR Quads, so I am guessing they have some photographic evidence.

[trimming the junk . . .]

Wasn't there discussion about this some time recently that there were red hoppers on the Virginian during WWII when the Pennsylvania Railroad sent cars to help cover a shortage?
