Michael and Group; One of the coolest gons of all time was the G25 “Screw Car(s)”. PRR didn’t much like their USRA cars, and they had wooden floors, and interior folding stake pockets,

I’d certainly like a pair. Will they be made with cast on grabs or will the modeler have to install wire grabs. I’m for the latter. Billy

 Hi Bill and List Members, Thanks for the info. I model in N scale, and Micro-Trains makes an N scale twin hopper that is a close match to the Athearn HO twin hopper. So there is a nice

Eric Hansmann just sent me a scan of the Westerfield USRA gon instructions, so I am good to go. Thanks to Eric, Elden Gatwood, and others who offered advice, photos, or reference material. Cheers! --

Group; Once I figured out what the end details should look like, the Westerfield resin details went on OK, including the cut levers. You could try that source. Keep in mind the pivoting

Nevermind, I see the attached story now!

The Q hoppers had an inside length (IL) of 34'-3". Stantard hoppers have an IL of 33'-0". Would folks purchase a resin kit of this hopper to get a correct model? I have a general arrangement drawing.

 Hi John and List Members, I have an interest in these cars myself. One unanswered question for me is that the series CB&Q 190000-190999 twin hoppers (ACF Lot 232) appears to have been built in
