Lionel Hopper | 3-bay Cylindrical | Product Upgrade

Manufacturer:

Lionel

Product Category:

Hopper

Model Name:

3-bay Cylindrical

Notes Type:

Product Upgrade

Title:

Scale Wheels

Notes:

The first run (2012) of these cars were Lionel's attempt at actually producing "scale" cars. Unfortunately, most of the scale wheels were out-of-gauge.

To fix that, simply twist and pull on the wheels for each axle to spread them wider, or push them back in, if you went too far. Use the NASG standards gauge to verify them.

The second run (2020) of these cars were only sold with "hi-rail" wheels.
