Now we just need to keep pressing for multiple numbers on the later release's. I can see one number at a time on boxcars, but not hoppers. The US Bachman people have been pushing for it. This new stuff is being produced and priced for the modeler and not the old train set crowd.

Wouldn't mind seeing them done for the 800 cars BR&P got, but I doubt it very much.
I'd buy a few, but for at least $15 (Caboose Hobbies currently) a piece, plus new trucks and couplers,
that is getting pretty steep for a string of hoppers; for me anyway.
Those 800 went to the B&O around 1932 btw, as N-17b by my info.
