PC: Re: Flexi-flo hoppers

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roco of Austria made a model of these cars.  It was imported and sold by AHM
and maybe Model Power as well.   They aren't too common but they do turn up
at shows; with new trucks and couplers and perhaps some detailing they
aren't bad.  You do need to paint them though, I'm not sure if it ever came
in PC lettering or if any of the schemes I have seen are accurate.

Expect to pay anywhere from $3 for a whipped used car up to $20 or more for
a MIB example, as people are starting to colleect even this stuff.   I
usually get about $10 out of them, I might have one here to sell.
Sometimes its a matter of being in the right place at the right time, too.
