I am in dire need of an HO Hooker cylindrical Hopper for a presentation. Anyone have one they would be willing to sell ?
Thanks Wp Steve
Why do I anticipate a whole slew of comments on this thread?..[X-)]

I believe you must be thinking of the 1980-ish cop show starring Wiliiam Shatner.
Shatner rode around in a hopper on that show??? [:o)]
Oh God. It’s started already.
He may have rode around on a hopper, but I think I might have missed that episode.
I will say that there seems to be a prevalence of TV shows lately where the characters are hugging their hoppers. They must really love their model trains.
Do you absolutely need three-dimensional, or will an image do?
If an image works, you can find one on the web. Example here: http://www.google.com/search?q=hooker+cylindrical+hopper&hl=en&tbo=u&qscrl=1&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS443US443&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=mxqkUNXBDpOE0QGg54GIBw&ved=0CEAQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=654
I Love My Hookers!
Hooker Headers that is! [:D]
I was hopping it was about a Hooker Header Box Car, honestly that was the first thought! There where a few others as well. [:-^]

I need the actual car, Thanks.
Please carry out any transaction via PM’s. Selling anything on the forum is a violation of the forum policies.
Go to the most obvious place for a Hooker and buy it now.

Craigs list seems to work for me.
Unfortunately not very helpful if he wants a covered hopper.
Nuts… For a minute there I thought Walthers was coming out with another “Tongue in Cheek” car , maybe to go along with the Jail Box.
He didn’t say what price range he wanted either, LOL, rather scale or condition,built or unbuilt. Jim.
I’m assuming ready to roll is preferred.[:P]
I just want the car in HO, figure we would work out the price when we find one. Don’t think it comes in a kit
