Well actually they did the Canadian Grain Hopper..the Lionel cars are the early ACF hoppers....that are painted in several cases for Canadian Grain hoppers.

It is an ACF "Center Flow" car, who's prototype came in 2, 3 and 4 bay versions. The Lionel offering is much more rounded, but not completely "round", but is an accurate (by all prior indications)cylindrical hopper.
