  1. Nope. Not the kind that come out of South (AFRICAN) jewel mines. We’re talking (BLACK) diamonds; (COAL).
  2. Believe it or not, (LIONEL) didn’t catalog a hopper car until the No. 803 arrived in 1923. The dark (GREEN) four wheeler was equipped with (HOOK) couplers and wore (RUBBER) - stamped markings initially.
  3. The 803 would gain (LATCH) couplers in late 1923 and nickel (JOURNAL) boxes in 1925. Two years later, brass (LADDERS) began dressing up the car until, in 1929, the car became (PEACOCK) and also received brass nameplates.
  4. “But wait!”, you say, “I could swear Lionel made (HOPPER) cars prior to 1923!” And you’d be half-right if not for the (CATALOG) descriptions. True, the No. 116 looks an awful lot like the kind of car most of us would call a “hopper”. However, both that car and the larger No. 16 model a car with a more specialized purpose than ones designed for (MINERAL) service.
  5. The Nos. 16 and 1196 were (BALLAST) cars of the type that track laying and (MAINTENANCE) of way crews would use. But the two are very different models. The No. 1196 is a (BOTTOM) dump car introduced in 1910 while the No. 16 of 1906 is a (SIDE) dump car more akin to a (GONDOLA) than a coal hopper.
  6. Twenty years into the Standard Gauge era, the No. 216 hopper car finally modeled a modern hopper in (DARK) green. The brighter and smaller (RED) No. 516 replaced the No. 116 in 1928 and was the only prewar car to come with a simulated (LOAD).
