Bravo, Mike! {:^D You beat me to the punch-- I had intended to build an 8 wide version of Lar's Hopper as well! It looks great! Don't you think the proportions look a lot better? I especially like the way an 8 wide is wider than its trucks-- which (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I am assuming John Neal is completely interested in this: I have just finished my first 8 wide train car. It is an adaption of Larry P's custom hopper. I widened it to 8 studs, added 5 plates height to it and lengthened it quite a bit. I might need (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

I thought of that. It would be difficult to find someone willing to put such a large amount on their credit card, though. (at least, I wouldn't do it) Plus they'd have to be living in my area; otherwise, I'd be paying for shipping twice. :) -- Paul (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Suggestion - get a CDN Consortium together. Check the shipping costs on TEN 4561s, hopefully it won't be too much higher than the $35. If not, get some other Canucks together to amortize the shipping cost. That would probably be cheaper than having (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
