B&LE hoppers 45001-45100

Would anyone have a photo of a B&LE hopper 45001-45100 built by Pressed Steel in 1935? I am hoping to find one to use as an illustration in an article so one with 300+ resolution would be even better.

Please contact me off list – you can use Reply to sender at the bottom of the e-mail – if you can help.

The only photos of the B&LE cars I know of are the ones in the CBCs (1937, and p.235 in the 1940). The Railway Age and RME articles do have some photos of the original PSC sample car, including some construction views.

Thanks for the advice. I have the magazine articles but a real photo would have been nice!
