I have had this Car for over 25 years. It is a Athearn 54' Pullman Standard Covered Hopper.. It is made for The Transportation Corporation Of America. The car is mounted to a Nice Wood Display Base with a plate with "Thrall Car" engraved on it. Do not know much about it. Cannot find any Information on it... Athearn did not make this as a production run Car. Not from a set.. I have seen similar cars but, none that are exactly like this one... Could be a Special Run made by Athearn for TCA Company Execs..??? 
Anyway, here is the picture of it...  Carl

Hi Ken. You have found the answer. I forgot to check Bev-Bel... That answers the Car Information. But, why was it mounted on a base with the plate...?? Guess that part we will never know..  Thanks for the help... Carl
