Haven't come across any other examples. As for a builder, B&LE 40001-41000 and another 21 cars were built by SSC in 10/14. David Thompson

I dug around in a bag of old models, and found one of the original Varney hoppers from my first HO train set, with end sills. It is lettered for Virginian. From a practical modeling point of view:

Harry The W3's were in service from the early to mid 50's or so right up to and past the merger. The Atlas racks were in service for just about the same period of time, late 50's onward up into the

Garth The new Tichy rack is based on an ACL woodrack of the W3 class. It does feature a sloped deck and is an accurate model of the car. Regards, Denis F. Blake Columbus, Ohio TTHOTS Visit my

From: "ian clasper" Ian, My local shop Peach Creek Shops sells some white metal kits by GHQ. These appear to be very high quality kits. The ones I've seen built up in the shop look very nice. There

Tichy 53 ft. GSC car. Many prototypes, very common car. Atlas car, I provided the drawings for that car. Car was ACL, ex MEC car though. Athearn, GM&O had this car. New Tichy rack, ACL

It's an evolutionary development, I suspect. PRR and B&O each had their own nearly unique version of the PSC Schoen hopper design- PRR the GL (31'6"-il; 9'6"-iw; 10-ft eh) and B&O the N-8 (30'-il;

In the October 1919 ORER (Thank you Al W.), the Illinois Traction System listing shows a group of 40 Mather stock cars numbered 7000 to 7039. They were no longer listed in the December 1930 ORER.

This doesn't compute, the N-10 had 10 panels (I'm not aware of any other railroads' cars that had 10) whereas the USRA had 8 panels, a much more common arrangement, including the B&O's

For those more narrow minded, Train & Trooper offers an HO scale kit of the SR&RL pulpwood cars. 2' gauge. See: http://www.trainandtrooper.com/hon30.html for kit listings, and

One of the reasons I call it the "early standard" hopper is that it was built by just about everybody who was building steel hoppers at the time: PSC, SSC, Cambria, ACF, Ralston, Keith, Haskell &

The easiest way to tell the difference between the "early standard" and USRA hoppers is to look at the rivets for the crossridge (the rivet 'triangle' in the bottom center of the side). The USRA had

The 1903 hoppers (GT 73000-73499), no, as those were the later version of the PSC Schoen 30-foot hopper, built without a separate fishbelly side sill. The cars built in 1907 and later (GT/GTW
