Review Summary

The reviews highlight that the hopper generally runs smoothly and is well-detailed, with easy attachment and detachment noted as a positive feature. However, some users mentioned that it is lighter than NMRA standards, though this can be addressed by adding a suitable load or running it empty near the rear of a train. Overall, it is recommended as an affordable option for extending or starting a freight train.

Works fine

By: Ethan1526 (East Tennessee)

I purchased this for a small layout before knowing what I would do on my layout. Pros: â€¢ Runs well â€¢ couplers at decent height Cons: â€¢ lighter than required by nmra I wish I knew how light it's was before I purchased this.

Absolutely Lovely Hopper

By: FndleMcGoat

This hopper I bought two of to extend my train's length a little. Easily attaches and decouples without much human interference which to me is a big pro for model trains. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to lengthen up their freight train or just to begin a new train altogether.
