2-bay Fishbelly

Historical Note

In 2020 MTH released their new two-bay "fishbelly" hoppers with several road names. These cars were under development by S-Helper Service when the Sanda Kan situation arose that caused SHS to sell their tooling to MTH. In the real world, these hoppers were extended to allow slightly more capacity by dropping the floor between the trucks a little (hence their "fishbelly" nickname), and could be outfitted with heap shields on the ends.
