PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
FMC (Food Machinery Corp) had many divisions within it’s business. Between 1965 and 1985 FMC was the owner of the Gunderson metal works in Oregon USA. During that period it was known as the ‘Marine and Rail Equipment Division of FMC’ (MRED). FMC produced examples of these dry bulk covered hopper cars for more than a decade, between 1971 and 1981.
