“There is a mechanism that allows you to unload the freight. The freight itself is also included in this set: round 1x1 bricks. I think this set is a great addition to 4563 or crocodile engine 4551. Maybe you'll also like it as an addition to Hopper Wagon 10017. Both 4536 and... More 10017 serve the same purpose.”

“The 4536 Blue Hopper Car is an attachment to any 9 volt line train sets. Unfortunately, it does not work on 4.5, or 12 volt train tracks, because they are flat wheeled, and the 4.5 tracks are ridged. The 4536 Blue Hopper Car includes 166, including a small docking area to... More put the cargo. It would make a nice attachment to any 9 volt set.”
