I found on the Accurail web site that they will be doing a version of the AAR triple hopper with off-set sides with the following features:
* Fine sill steps molded from tough, durable Acetal resin, molded as one piece with the diagonal end braces and bolster top plate so they don't fall off the car * Center sills set up for either standard mount couplers OR Accumate PROTO:HO "scale size" couplers * Brake levers and piping modeled between the major brake components * Slope sheet braces properly modeled * Fine section end ladder * Properly modeled Wine door locks * Hidden weights
From the description, the body casting should be finer than the one from Stewart. Now if they do a correct 70-ton truck that will be a real addition to the hobby.

Yeah, Bob, but as usual with Inaccurail,the damn grab irons, ladders, etc. will still be molded on and there will be a gazillion bogus paint and lettering schemes. You'll hear no cheering from this part of the grandstand.
