This photo, taken in Longmont, Colorado, has an EJ&E twin hopper in the background, adding more to the mentions of roaming hoppers:

Who built them and when? Is there a model in HO that would at least approximate them? Is there a source of appropriate decals, assuming a suitable model could be found?

I think they were built in 1940. No models in HO but you might be able to bash from a Stewart 3 bay or two.

These cars were actually built as offset hoppers in 1953 series 41000-41699. Don't know when they were rebuilt to ribside twins. Rich Christie

You are correct, Tim. My info came from the RPI site. I may have misread it or their info is incorrect. Maybe 1953 was the rebuild year for the ribs? There was info sometime back on the EJ&E photo and info site, but that has been going through reorganization. Rich Christie
