Richard, Not to diverge from the current thread but................... The subject came up on the Espee group regarding the possibility of Champ intentionally making very slight changes (not

I am having a problem determining exactly where the end of car data would go on a ATSF covered hopper. I did several Ga-52 covered hoppers. I have photos showing the data on the sides of the car;
