Covered Hoppers Repaints

Various repaints of the US Covered Hoppers by zukzf.

"A hopper wagon or covered hopper is a covered railway wagon that has unloading devices on its underside. They are typically used for the mass transport of granules or agricultural products. Here wagons with two hoppers are mostly used for the transport of heavy goods such as cement while larger wagons are more used to transport light goods such as grain. "
Constant improvements over the years resulted in speed and volume increases without major external changes.
