Hi everyone! I'm new to the community, but I've been collecting Tyco operating hoppers for over 10 years now. I recently found something rare that might interest you all.

In my pursuit to collect one of every operating hopper livery in existence, I've come across a couple cars that have paint variations. Notably, the B&M hopper, which has a variant with "clean before returning" decal to the left of the car number, and one without. Well, today I'd like to announce I've found a third previously unknown Variant.

Behold (see the last car in the image):



This car is essentially the "missing 'clean without returning'" variant car with all the printing shifted one panel to the left. discovered it in an Ebay listing about a year ago. It was being sold as a regular B&M car, no mention of the error. I wonder how many were made like this, since I've never seen another one...
