Just got these delivered yesterday from UPS. They came from Boone Hobbies in Iowa. These cars are better than the pictures. They are great cars and will go super on my new Grain Train I put together.

Don't think you want the CN rainbow hopper carrying foodstuffs...

I like the Yellow of the Canadian Hopper and the Rainbow of the CN Hopper.
That's why I got them. Buy what you like, run what you like. I also have 5
Weaver covered grain hoppers. 3 Canadian, 1 Saskatchewan and
1 Ontario Northland. Got those 5 Weaver hoppers at a train show in Rochester NY
for $80. Have an additional Weaver Alberta covered grain hopper I got off Ebay.
I like these...

The CN 4-Bay Cylindrical Hopper spectrum colors scheme was specially painted on one side in 1969-1970 to show that they carried pigments or pigmented plastics in that series of hoppers.
You could flip it around depending on which commodity it was supposed to haul.
