| Plastic
pellets are an often overlooked, but highly important commodity
in the manufacturing world. Almost everything you see that’s
made of plastic was once carried by covered hopper car in pellet
form.
Rapido
is proud to present the Procor 5820 Covered Hopper car, now
in N scale. Designed fully by Procor, this hopper was built
in batches from the late 70s all the way up through the early
90s. Around 1500 examples were built for Procor and Dow Chemical
in their Oakville, Ontario facility. Essex Hybrid would later
receive a handful of cars for seed service. Many of these
were ex Procor hoppers patched out.
