0016, 0046, and 0046K.
Lionel’s OO hopper cars were only offered in full scale versions. The scale sets came with or without the hopper car, while the semi-scale sets never came with a hopper car. This car is entirely die cast. Made only with Southern Pacific lettering.
The three rail 0016 hopper comes in grey or black; the two rail 0046 comes only in black.
