For all of you tank car kitbashing masochists, there was a great article in
Mainline about 15 years ago by Mark Feddersen...
By the way, I rank Feddersen's article as one of the top kitbashing articles
I have ever read, along with Don Munson's (also from Mainline) about using
two Athearn composite hoppers to make a N&W H-4.

Ted is exactly right about Feddersen's article. Can't comment on the
Munson piece, as I really don't speak "hopper."
