Re: prototype for this covered hopper model?
Note the curve in the top of the sidewall & ribs of the Erie one but not the model. "Close but no cigar"?

Re: B&O 5470
Jim and all,
A quick comment these hoppers were leased from CNJ. B&O typically did not assign a class to leased equipment. The Summary of Equipment listed them as "CNJ" . It would not be a class

Re: prototype for this covered hopper model?
Appears to be Pecos River Brass by John Smith from 70s. Box says “rebuilt”. From PRB I suspect a Santa Fe prototype?

Re: B&O 5470
Peter,
The stirrups were those supplied in the kit. To me, the look like Tichy or Detail Associates. They are made of Delrin.

Re: B&O 5470
Very nice build, Jim. I like what you’ve done with the interior! May I ask what you used for stirrup steps?

Re: B&O 5470
Thanks, guys. Yes, I did have to ream out the truck journals for good running characteristics, but I often have to do this.

Re: prototype for this covered hopper model?
Tim,
I think that's one of the Erie 50 ton covered hoppers from the early 1930s, IIRC a Greenville 1321 cu. ft. design. I know Owens Corning (the red "Duraglas" lettering) also had some, and a Royce

B&O 5470
I have just completed a build of F&C kit # 6761, B&O 9 Panel Hopper. This kit has a one piece body casting, so it was not a particularly difficult build, for a hopper. I followed the kit instructions
