This looks great in CAD, it's a shame we can't get the doors with red
stripes for a brick build. That's one reason why I went for a VGA-inspired
one (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=248546) instead.

I saw this after I had finished mine and wondered, I'm not up for modding brick
but stickers (ones that you can remove anyway) are OK in my book.

BTW -- your Bardon hoppers in your BS gallery look pretty good too!

Thanks, these are actually very old and are one of my first post grey (not quite
dark) age MOCs, I built it for real in different colours before I discovered
Ldraw and it was the first CAD model I made (using LDraw and LEdit with none of
these fancy GUIs!) When I did it I didn't use pictures but just memory of the
real one going through my station. I thought I had got them pretty accurate but
when I looked at pictures later I realised that I had produce a crossbreed of
them and another hopper.

Dunno if you've stumbled across my (real) wagon site, but if not take a look
here for more inspiration http://www.brickset.com/wagons
I have looked at this many times in the past and wanted to link to a photo in it
for the mail (you being a Lugnet member and all that) but there weren't any
relevant.

Thanks for the comments

Tim
