Hi Trevor....

"S"peaking of the Canadien Guys (I'm French, heritagewise....), I was wondering 
of someone from up your way could tell me which of the Lionel cylindrical 
hoppers are authentic and if any of them are pure fantasy?  In particular, I 
have an eye on the maroon CANADA (CPWX) paint job.  Also, the green 
SASKATCHEWAN and multi-colored "Lifesaver" CN paint schemes and blue ALBERTA?  

Are these all for real?  Or is Lionel taking advantage of my ignorance?  Olde 
tymers are easy to fool.

Being an American, I figure the UP version with the red, white & blue flag is 
authentic.  At least patriotic if nothing else.  I presume all the NS Heritage 
series cylindrical hoppers are fictitious.  Right?

I sure wouldn't want the wrong kind of cylindrical hopper running next to my 
PBL Shay.  Folks would shake their heads.......

Cheers...Ed L.
