Larry,
You seem to be using an old list of parts. I would suggest doing an LDraw
install from scratch and getting the newest part list update. I noticed that
these new models make reference to parts not used anymore (due to a change in
numbering scheme and some parts were modeled as variants now, like the 1x1
round, which has a hole on the top or doesn't have a hole). It would also get
you up to date with the few parts we have that you are missing.
My only regret is that I now won't be able to CAD the hopper car. Keep up the
good work and I will have a little Larry shrine in my train yard. I'm almost
finished with the Hydrogen car and I can see that within a day or two, I will
have a few more cars on my LL train. [1]
