Modifying the Lionel 6-9267 ALCOA 4 bay covered hopper with opening hatches

 

This model is a very basic O-27 4 bay hopper that was issued in 1976. (BLT 1-76) It was produced by Lionel/General Mills Fun Group, Mount Clemens, Michigan. The model has sprung trucks.  This version of the model has plastic end pieces with molded brake gear at each end.

 

The end piece on one end has been modified to remove the brake gear detail.  The brake detail is now only at the brakewheel end.

 

 Before and after photos are shown.
