I think that hopper is an AHM product.
Pretty cool though.

In my experience they're not common but not hard to find. I always see one or two at any train show - that rising sun is impossible to miss even when you're not looking per se. I routinely see them on ebay as well.
I think the haunt even has one or two, I can double-check next time I'm there (don't know when that'll be). I usually get them for $3 there. Won't be boxed though (assuming they're still there).

No joke: haunt was closed for the month of September while the owner was away. But he's open now and sure enough, one of these was there. A little dirty but will clean easily. Nothing broken, missing, or scratched; perfect paint.
$6 shipped to whomever wants it (Smokie gets first dibs).

I would love to have it, but I had surgery yesterday on my hand, & money is going to be tight for a few weeks. I have to have my other hand cut on when this one heals. I have carpal tunnel in both wrists. figures. i've been seeing lots of suff the last couple days & just can't swing it.

| Smokie, PM me your address and I'll just send it to you; you can return the favor or pay me back or whatever, whenever. Hope your hands get better. I had/have Ulnar Neuropathy which is similar, and likewise not much fun.
