Hi All,

I have this covered hopper with no MFR. mark. I thought at first it was an Athearn but the coupler pockets are not set up like an Athearn. The body is all one molding but the ladders are a seperate piece. Any ideas who made it and when?

Thanks
Mike

I would say Front Range... later sold by McKean. They were the only ones to offer a 3-bay Centerflow for a lonnnnnng time. The coupler box cover was a plastic plate with a cast-on pin that press-fit in; very hard to remove without breakage.

I'm not sure but the name McKean popped into my head instantly and I see GIC mentioned McKean also so I feel good on that guess.
