Rapido Trains announced that it will be offering a Procor 3,000-cubic-foot capacity sodium chlorate hopper in HO scale. The release date for the model has yet to be announced.

Unlettered models painted aluminum with and without top handrails will also be offered.

Additional features on the Procor covered hopper will include Sparger outlet gates; etched-metal running boards and placards; separate, factory-installed grab irons; full end cage details; and newly tooled 100-ton ride control trucks with HydraShox hydraulic snubbers.
