I've been on the hunt for a 3 bay ribbed side covered hopper for a weathering project.  What have you seen lately? :tommann:

If you wanted to take a field trip, say on a weekend Tom, I know where about 70 of them are parked right now. Grain season brings out some real winners!

And I'll buy it from you when you're done, too.  :drool:

Of course ideally it would be sans conspic striping.   ;)

Nah, that car isn't that old!   :P    That was a DDG car. Most of those have build dates within the past decade or so. Ever since ethanol really got popular. And, its more like a quarter.  :P

Wasn't me!
