The 25 MV composite emergency 70-ton hopper cars were identical to the
1,200 cars built for MoPac. There exists a series of original AC&F

Just creeping into the timescales of the group - with one photograph
to my knowledge of these cars being hauled by steam too - we are just
about to release N Scale Kits of the Clejan spine cars.
