Really nice design. The ribs especially are really spiffy, and the green really brings out the detail. I agree with your comment about the wheels. Other than that, cool car. -Stefan- (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Greatings, I recently completed a MOC of 100-Ton Hopper car. I modeled it after a "Proto 1000 Series" HO scale kit I borrowed from my brother. I wasn't able to get the ribbing to line up in the middle of the car and I think the wheels could benefit (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains) !
