Anyone see these yet? Are these scale or smaller. I have a set of the MTH premier PRR hoppers and was wondering if they could be mixed together without looking awkward.
Thanks

Based on the photo I saw, these hoppers are not scale and are not even coal hoppers. They look like Lionel postwar covered hoppers without the covers and filled with coal. For sure, the PRR never had coal hoppers like them.
The PRR had covered hoppers that were similar.
The Weaver Models imported covered hoppers have a similar design.

To clarify, the Weaver h30 covered hoppers are Prr covered hoppers. And they were not used to haul coal. If accuracy is important to you, then spend your money on the new Lionel GLa hoppers( for 2 bay) and the Atlas O h21a hoppers for the quad Hopper types.(4 bay)

A shoebox on wheels is also similar.
