New Tooling on Bowser Cylindrical Hoppers?

[Mark5]

Anyone have the scoop on these? The copy reads:

"Roller bearing trucks with Fox Valley Models metal wheels and body mounted knuckle couplers."

"only the wheels and couplers have changed."


That's from an E-Mail from Lee English.

I wanted to add that I tried to contact Plano about rerunning their etched walkway but never received any answer.  If someone else would like to try, that'd be great.

So I guess the body mount thing is false - these were always truck mounted in the past. Funny that these are "executive line" lol
