My latest Covid build

O Fenton Wells
 

Southern covered hopper by F&C .  Light weathering as the car was 1951 and the era is about that time

Fenton -

That's a right nice looking car!  Lots of complicated looking hardware on the roof for the hatches, and such a clean look otherwise.  The lettering says they were used for cement.  Were they used for other commodities?

Excellent build Fenton.

I agree with Todd, Fenton, that is a very nice looking car.  I have to ask, though, there have been some kvetching about the size of the rivet recently.  Is there any thought that the rivets may be a bit large?

Fenton,

I, too, am impressed with the build of this car. Very sharp looking.

I agree, the weathering is great--doesn't takeaway from the detail but makes it look a lot less like a model.

That’s very nice and a large hopper for 1951.
