The part number is 294; Angle 1/8th inch. After I cut the part for length, I use a pair of straight blade nail clippers to trim the ends to conform to the slope sheets. I recommend cutting the part a tad longer than needed and test fit it until it looks good. NSBob
Probably a misprint.Both diagrams for that hopper class show 36" wheels with a 5"-10" wheelbase.Jason
Trainworx makes body mounted coupler parts for these cars. However I don't believe they come with any of the brake detail parts.
For the cost of the tooling, it might be better to leave the brake stuff out, and recommend buying it from MT.
Personally I'd like to see a full upgrade kit.As of right now, you have to get the following,Trainworx body mount couplersMT brake gear100 ton trucks, whether its BLMA/Atlas or MTand bits of styrene to make the center sill cover and end bracing.I believe Trainworx could do the full kit, as they have the couplers, the brake rigging could probably come from the quad hoppers. They have 100 ton trucks, but believe theirs have the offset bolster hole, not sure if that is what is actually needed for these.
Also I do not have a conversion kit for the body mount. Can anyone mail one to me, preferably with brake parts on it already?
