Received my Lionel 2016 Volume 2 Catalogue a few days ago and noticed the inclusion of some new Lionscale Hoppers. Two questions. First, are these manufactured using the Weaver dies Lionel purchased? Second, do they come with coal loads? It appears that the answer to the second question may be no, by contrast to the description of the GLA Hoppers, where the coal loads are clearly included. Also, there is a significant price differential between the Lionscale and the GLA Hoppers, also making it unlikely the coal loads are included. Thanks.
