The 6446 Covered Quad hopper was first produced in 1954. It remained in the Lionel family until 1957. During that time it did experience some minor changes. After 1957, it made a brief appearance in 1963, but only lasted for that one year. The 6446 is not an easy item to find in collectable condition. At the same time, general interest in hoppers is minimal. Therefore, this is one of the few scenarios where a hard to find item can be purchased at a reasonable price. This hopper features diecast metal trucks, diecast metal operating knuckle couplers, metal wheels and axles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-6: Very Good based on visual appearance. The wheels show average run-time. There are rub marks, a few scratches, and spots of surface rust on the shell and chassis. The roof of the hopper does not appear to be original and has a more blue hue than the body. The overall appearance of this item may be improved with a gentle and thorough cleaning. The instruction manual is not included. The original box is not included. Please check the photos for a detailed look at this item. Overall condition is Very Good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-6: Minor scratches and paint nicks, minor surface rust, no dents.
