Proto and Rail-scale-models missed the slope sheets. They were also wood down to the frame. See photo p. 242 Santa Fe Open Top Cars.

Charlie,

 

Regarding the car's interior, Rail Scale Models makes a laser-cut interior wood lining for the Proto 2000 War Emergency Hopper - part no. A205.  Bill Hanley told me about this item.

The metal grab irons are included in the P2K parts.  While a little oversized I’m ok on how they look. Not sure why I passed up on buying one of these models when they were first released but they look nice and it’s a very quick build. Only criticism is the interior where the boards are is completely smooth.
