This car came from a lot i purchased off ebay last year. I do not know who the manufacturer is as all it says on bottom is made in China. The carriage does screw to the body and has snap in trucks. I have upgraded the car to metal wheels and kadee #5's. The color of this car in white would be a bad choice for a real protoype as the coal dust would blacken it in probably a day or two's time. Is a neat car th ough. BLT 6-96 on car body as well as year 1996

Looks like it might be a newer Life Like item.
They started using body mounted couplers a few years ago.
I have a Southern Pacific hopper that looks similar in construction to yours.
Life Like is famous for making special sets,and cars for promotional items,and companys.
