The very last car on that page, 316345, is a match to the Bachman car. I've got a bunch of pics of cars in ATSF colours re-marked for DME, DWC and NAHX.

The CPI and the NATX (North American parallelogram logo) are of keen interest to me.

I guess this is the new Bachmann covered hopper

Interesting that it appears to have a functional coupler, and maybe doesn't stick out so far like accumates or mchenrys.

Sure, with the end railings attached to the etching.  But you can't argue with $8.99 street...

Is the roofwalk and the car "roof"/hatches all once piece? I cant really see a gap between the plastic on the top right where the roofwalk meets the curve of the car...

It looks to be all in one piece.

For $8.99, throw a wash of weathering on it, and add it to the fleet.  Only take pictures of your Intermountain cars.  No one will be any the wiser.

Not bad at all.  Metal wheels for 8.99?  Nice!

The roofwalk at least is thin.  Brake wheel looks good.

The wheels come with new roller bearing trucks with those magnetic couplers. They seem to be pretty well detailed, though they appear to have a rounded profile on the along the top. I have never seen a 100T truck with a profile like that.

Still... rollerbearing trucks of a new design with magnetic couplers and metal wheels on a trainset car is pretty sweet.

Looks to me like not only is the top one solid piece but the ends are also the same piece.  Very nasty replacement job that would be totally not worth the effort given alternatives on the market.

But, as 'filler' they look like nice enough cars to fill out a train; especially once beat up a bit and if you view from eye-level.  Just keep the good stuff near the head-end.

I wonder if the roof is a seperate peice like the IM cars. If that is the case, the roofwalk/roof/hatches could be replaced with IM parts for very cheap
