Bill, Funaro makes a kit for an NYO&W car that is very similar to similar to D&H 6976 on pg135 in the Culotta book. It appears that the ends and hopper bottoms will require some modification to make

I won't be able to attend the Lisle gathering, but the idea of a few "seley" hoppers is awesome. Will they be two, three, or four bay? I know Bob's Photo has a picture of one steel sided with welded
