The LUGNet page has it at $14.95
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=blue+hopper

In today's money that is about $22.08

The much used $0.10 per part guide equates to $16.40.

All of which appear low to me

(...) I couldn't find the hopper car in any of my old catalogs either but seeing as the twin tank transporter listed at $23, I would think the blue hopper was more like $25 or $30 originally. (27 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.theory)
