This a very special 33' open, rib-side, two-bay hopper for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Zscale Monster Trains commissioned this run to sell solely on zscalemonster.com; The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad (PRR) was founded in 1846. Commonly referred to as the "Pennsy", the PRR was headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The PRR was the largest railroad by traffic and revenue in the U.S. throughout the first two-thirds of the twentieth century and was at one time the largest publicly traded corporation in the world. At its peak, it controlled about 10,000 miles of rail line. During its history, the PRR merged with or had an interest in at least 800 other rail lines and companies. At one point the budget for the PRR was larger than that of the U.S. government; at its peak it employed about 250,000 workers. In 1968, the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad merged with its rival, the New York Central Railroad , to form the Penn Central Transportation Company. The ICC required that the ailing New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad be added in 1969. A series of events including inflation, poor management, abnormally harsh weather and the withdrawal of a government-guaranteed $200-million operating loan forced the Penn Central to file for bankruptcy protection on June 21, 1970. The viable parts of the Penn Central system were transferred in 1976 to Conrail , which began earning a profit in 1981. The Norfolk Southern Railway and CSX Transportation split Conrail in approximately equal portions in 1999, with the former now owning the old Pennsy Main Line across Pennsylvania. The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad's corporate symbol was the keystone, which is Pennsylvania's state symbol, with the letters PRR intertwined inside.

Stenciled with the "Coal Goes to War" motto during WW II and appeared on the tracks all through the "Steam to Diesel Era" of Railroading. All during it's long and famed history, "The Pennsy" set the standard for railroading in North America! PRR was so huge having merged with, or interests in, over 800 Railroad Companies that it's budget exceeded that of the United States Government! Hence, in support of America's efforts during WWII, PRR setenciled this Wartime sentiment on the sides of many freight cars. Never deleted, the railfans could observe the slogan well into the late 1900's.

The Philadelphia and Reading Coal & Iron Co., in an effort to compete with the Glen Alden Coal Company's very successful 'blue coal' started to spray anthracite coal, RED! Not to be confused with the Reading Railroad, the P&RC&I Co. used the slogan, "When it's RED it's Reading!" During the 1930's and 40's this marketing ploy promoted household heating coal effectively and before the competition was over, there appeared a "silver," "gold," and even "pink" coal! Here's a fantasy car, produced by Full Throttle, exclusively for Zscale Monster Trains, marked with reporting numbers of Railroads from the region and loads created by Hay Brothers.

Many myths abound concerning the "Yellow Dot" on the large Pennsy open hoppers! The H43s were the last and largest-capacity production class group of open hoppers still using 33" wheels introduced by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Many of Pennsy's 7,500 H43s were fabricated at the Sam Rea Shops in Holidaysburg, PA and another 4,000 were added to the fleet by Penn Central RR, later. The basic design became "standard," had riveted side stakes, and throughout the country, almost 50,000 very similar cars were built by 1978. Pennsy H43s wore a large "Yellow Disc" painted on at the shop, dedicating the car to Unit Train Service for optimum utilization and preventing general interchange use. The "Yellow Ball" was simply a convenience to walking car checkers for yard inventory and assembling unit coal train consists. No PRR H43s were built without the "Yellow Dot" and no other PRR Classes had it.

The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (DRGW), " Through the Rockies," was a major origin of coal and mineral traffic, and the epitome of mountain railroading, operating the highest mainline rail line in the USA. In 1988, the Rio Grande, purchased the Southern Pacific Railroad. The unified company took the Southern Pacific name due to its recognition among shippers. By the early 1990s, the D&RGW became largely dependent on hauling high-quality coal from the mine fields of Colorado and Utah. In 1996, D&RGW was sold and merged into Union Pacific Railroad. At the turn of the 19th Century, during America's Industrial Revolution, our Railroads refurbished many of their older cars for more modern use. Steel underframes, Bettendorf trucks, and newer brake systems were employed. Full Throttle brings Z Scale a small, renovated 34' freight/reefer/ice car which would find use on the Railroads into the early diesel era!

Revolving Dumpers ~ Rotary Couplers In the course of coal unloading procedures at modern facilities, the revolving dumper was ideated. This was a piece of track enveloped by a huge turning mechanism which surrounded and locked the coal car in place, thus allowing the mechanism to rotate on an axis and dump the load from the topside, instead of the traditional gravity dumping via the hopper doors at the bottom. The use of a spinning rotary coupler in it's yoke, engaged the car within the mechanism allowing this method of quick and expedited dumping. Usually, the forward end panels of the hopper were painted a contrasting color to denote placement of the peculiar coupler. The use of this method has led to the end of the traditional hopper, and top gons, bathtubs and coal porters are taking it's place. Eventually, new technology using rotary couplers at each end of the car, allows dumping without uncoupling from the consist, further saving time in the unloading routine!

During the 18th and 19th centuries, many Germans fleeing oppression and war in their homeland emigrated to Pennsylvania, USA, encouraged by William Penn's promise of land and religious freedom. The "PA DUTCH" as they were to become known, settled mainly in the PA Counties just below the Blue Mountains whose natural scenery was reminiscent of the lands from which they had departed. The area north of the mountains became known as "Coal Country" encompassing the largest Anthracite Coal Fields in North America! Eventually, the coal became of prime importance, leading the area and it's hard-working population into steel production, and other heavy industry. And, of course, Railroads were needed to transport the "Black Diamonds" from the mines and breakers to the factories and home-heating distributors, as well as the products created, to the major cities of the Northeast USA. Two great coaling/freight railroads emerged from this "DUTCH COUNTRY" area. The LEHIGH VALLEY RR, headquartered in Allentown/Bethlehem and the READING RR, from Reading in Berks County. Myriad "PA DUTCHMEN" worked these local railroads lending an ethnic bent.

The Missouri Kansas Texas Railroad (MKT) was incorporated in 1870. In its earliest days the MKT was commonly referred to as "the K-T", and soon evolved into "the Katy". Headquartered in Dallas, TX, the Freight Line served Eastern Texas, Oklahoma, Southeastern Kansas, and Central Missouri. MKT also ran an impressive "named" Passenger fleet! At the end of 1970, MKT operated 2623 miles of road and 3765 miles of track. MKT's early Diesels were red and red-orange, but after 1971, locomotives, cabooses, and other rolling stock were painted green with yellow stripes, lettering and numbering. In 1988, it's successor became the Union Pacific Railroad.

The RBMN carries anthracite coal from the mines north of Reading, and runs passenger excursions along it's picturesque system. The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway (LGSR) is a tourist railroad that operates passenger excursions along the RBMN between Jim Thorpe and Lehigh Gorge State Park. The RBMN also hosts such trips from Reading and Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe. In 2010, due to natural gas drilling in northeastern PA, RBMN expanded operations, refurbishing the Pittston Yard, near Wilkes-Barre and purchasing several new locomotives.

A proponent of feed supplements for animal husbandry, Dale Wilmore McMillen founded Wayne Feeds and Central Soya producing a concentrate of soy protein, vitamins and minerals lacking in regular feed. Wayne Feeds merged with American Milling Co., a soybean crushing mill, in 1929 to form Allied Mills. In 1894, William H. Danforth began producing feed for various farm animals under the name Purina Mills. The predominant brand for each animal was generally referred to as "Chow"; hence there was "Purina" Horse, Dog, Cat, Rabbit, Pig and even Monkey "Chow". in 1902, he merged with university professor Webster Edgerly, a producer of breakfast cereals, to form the "Ralston Purina Co.". In 1998 it was purchased by Koch Industries and in 2001 by Land O'Lakes. Here are two covered cylindrical hoppers which carried these products to distributors across the USA.
