Kato HO HOKI 2200 Rolling Stock

The Hoki 2200 is a hopper car developed for transport of wheat and feed in 1966. The car body has an oval cross section and has a structure extended to the full limit of the vehicle. The interior is bisected by a fixed partition, with a loading port at the top and a drop port at the bottom. It has been used for a long time since the era of JNR, but in recent years it has ended its role due to the decrease in transport volume.
