"Boraxo" Covered Hoppers
|
Shawn Beckert
List,
Does anyone know of a source for photographs of "Boraxo" covered hoppers? They would be in lease markings with "BORAXO" billboard lettering.I don't need a scan, just want to know who might have them for sale. Thanks, Shawn Beckert

Hello Shawn Becket,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Bobs' Photo has a photo of NAHX #31060 with the large Boraxo paint scheme. S-Helper did this car in "S" scale but unfortunately used the wrong body style. The car has the 1954-56 channel end ribs and the early less common narrow hatch spacing with the notched hatch straps. Because of the narrow hatch spacing we will not be doing this car in the near future, or maybe even the distance future. Sam Clarke Kadee Quality Products

Atlas did a PS-2 in this version and I think a photo of one appeared in a PS-2 article in RMJ back when the Atlas and/or KAdee cars came out.
either here, Pullman-Standard 70-ton PS-2 Two-Bay Covered Hoppers from Atlas or MDC kits Railmodel Journal, April 1995 page 4 or Pullman-Standard PS-2 two-bay covered hoppers from Kadee models Railmodel Journal, December 2003 page 11 I bet Bob's photo's has this car also.

Fortunately Champion makes decals for this car; the problem is *which* Kadee car to use. There are different versions, with the ribs and roof hatches being different on each one. This is why I'd like to have a good photo - not that I'd ever find one showing roof details... Shawn Beckert

Thanks very much for the information. It looks like this car can't be done then, without kitbashing the roof to get the hatch spacing right. Sounds like an opportunity for another "aftermarket" part to be made. Shawn Beckert
