You're eyeing an amazing N Scale Bowser 38052 - H21a 4 Bay Hopper from the PRR Lease Virginian, numbered #177239. From 1911 to 1917, 70 - ton H21a 'quad' hoppers entered coal service. Between 1922 and 1923, early H21 hoppers were transformed into H21a's by swapping 50 - ton trucks for 70 - ton ones, bringing the total H21a hopper cars to 36,000. The original 1909 - 1930 quad hoppers had 'old style' double - door hoppers. In the 1930s and early 1940s, these were replaced with'saw tooth' hoppers, boosting capacity by 39 to 40 cubic feet and making maintenance a breeze. Different lettering styles were applied over time: Circle Keystone in January 1930, Shadow Keystone in June 1954, Plain Keystone (on black cars) in July 1956, and just PRR Initials in the early 1960s.
