My Cotton Belt & Cargill hoppers arrived today! They're looking pretty nice.

My Cargill just arrived as well, exquisite looking car.
The couplers are just as big as before but they do seem to couple with a lot less force than the Carbon Black hoppers.
Slow coupling isn't great due to the couplers and the free rolling wheels.   
I wonder if a little burnishing or graphite on the coupler face might help with that?

ScaleTrains had the 4785s available for purchase on their page last night.  I sampled a Cotton Belt, Cargil and Staeley for my St.Louis centric modeling.
