This question has already received appropriate response but had me wondering again about the same question applied to the 8-hatch reefers also used by both of the two large Canadian roads. In

Not to my knowledge. Not sure what the delay is. Pierre OLiver

I am well aware that they have noting (sic) to do with the Canadian covered hoppers.My response was to a post who had never heard of "tank hoppers".Armand Premo

Has the CP mini-box been released by TrueLine and is it being handled by any US dealers? Klein doesn't show it. Thanks, Bill McCoy

Medal is a military thing...metal wheels are another! Kadees work great and are less expensive than all the others out there. Get the truck tool and bore out the holes for the axels, I've been doing

Since you asked here is a link: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/cp/cp387167ajs.jpg But this is straying outside the guidelines as the tank hoppers were built after 1960. CW

You are forgetting about the former B&M line to Wells River, VT, John, otherwise known as the Lyndonville Subdivision, where one was also used. Have photos of it at Newport, VT. Cordially, Don

CNR has been suggested but I think not. Try CPR instead and you'll probably have it. The same snowplow was offered by Kemtron in both HO & O scale eons ago. Still have my HO one for CPR use. IIRC

The Barrett cars were converted from GATC tank cars built in the 1920s. But they have noting to do with the Canadian covered hoppers that are under discussion here. Richard Hendrickson

I guess I need to remember to indicate humor. Both Dennis and Gene wrote good, serious responses to what I had, for the most part, intended as a play on Eldon's "What more could a modeler want?" Gene

Larry, One of the best tools you can get for this is the Reboxx trial set, with a wide range of axle lengths. I use it all the time to determine which replacement wheels to use. Regards Bruce

I have several accurail cars I'm finally getting around to detailing and I am finding that Kadee #520 wheels are kinda snug (the axle is too long)...Question is what are you fellowa using in these

Definitely a Canadian design built in large numbers by Eastern Car Company, but also by Dominion Car Company and National Steel Car Company. Not seen in the US except at Brownsville Junction, Maine,

Bill, Absolutely! Shipments from Canada to just about anywhere in the US could be carried in these cars. The real issue is that they were not supposed to be used for complete movements on this side

Barrett (Tarvia) a division of Allied Chemical had hopper bottom tank cars for shipping roofing material.Looked pretty much like an ordinary tank car,but with hoppers.They may have been converted tank
