You're checking out an N Scale Bowser 38021 - H21a 4 Bay Hopper from Penn Central MOW #32082. From 1911 to 1917, 70 - ton H21a 'quad' hoppers were introduced for coal service. Between 1922 and 1923, early H21 hoppers were converted to H21a's by replacing 50 - ton trucks with 70 - ton ones, increasing the total to 36,000 H21a hopper cars. The early quad hoppers from 1909 - 1930 had 'old style' double - door hoppers. In the 1930s and early 1940s, they were replaced with'saw tooth' hoppers, boosting capacity by 39 to 40 cubic feet and making maintenance easier. Circle Keystone Lettering was added in January 1930, Shadow Keystone lettering in June 1954, Plain Keystone (black car) in July 1956, and PRR Initials only in the early 1960s.
