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.
