A recent acquisition - an old Tyco U.S. Navy unloading 2-bay hopper.

I love Tyco’s operating hoppers . . . I probably have at least 50 of ‘em.  Yours looks like a nice example.

Thanks guys - it can be a hard to find Tyco operating hopper.

That high cube makes a good clearance tester. I have two of them for this purpose. Since they're the tallest cars I will ever run on my railroad, if they fit under bridges or through tunnels I am good. I have even cut down tunnel portals so they barely squeak through, to get the errect of the low clearance routes once common in the east.
