O&W hopper pix
Are there any free pictures of O&W hoppers on the internet?

Group:
I recall seeing photos of a Leheigh Valley steel box car having an IH of 10' 0", diagonal panel roof, and possibly 3/4 IDE ends, not sure about that. In any case, does anyone have a JPEG

Just be sure to check the Tennessee Central hobby shop website for their hours. I just checked and they are only open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for a few hours.
