Announced in 1982, but never produced, Train Miniature had plans to offer a 50' Airslide Hopper kit.  The 1983 Walthers catalog includes this never-made Train Miniature Airslide with a dozen roadnames, plus an Undecorated example.  A $4.50 price is listed for this kit with no illustration included in the Walthers '83 catalog.
 
Walthers introduces a 50' Airslide Covered Hopper into its plastic kit line in the late '80s.  Walthers purchased Train Miniature's toolings, following T-M's demise in the mid-'80s.  It is speculation, but the Walthers 50' Airslide may have had its beginnings with Train Miniature and this never-released under the T-M name model.
