Looking for a plastic-pellet covered hopper for your 1970s-1980s layout? The ScaleTrains Pullman-Standard 5820, in its premium Rivet Counter line, in Gulf Oil / GOCX colors, is exactly that kind of standout piece.
The Pullman-Standard 5820-cubic-foot covered hopper mostly carries plastic pellets and dry chemicals. Built in the early 1970s, it comes in two carbodies: an early body with a peaked roof and 17 posts, and a late body with a clerestory roof and 19 posts.
This version recreates the early body (peaked roof, 17 posts) in Gulf Oil colors under GOCX marks (road numbers 58136, 58239 and 58287).
