7: Conrail 884196 is one of a small batch of covered hoppers
that were built by the Erie in its Dunmore shops near Scranton,
PA. At the time they were constructed, they were some of the
largest covered hoppers on the rails, and the quality of the con-
struction is shown by the number that lasted into Conrail. The
model is a resin kit from Funaro & Camerlengo, with a plethora
of extra detail parts, including the Plano etched metal roofwalk
and Exactrail trucks.
