Chris,

I like the covered hopper (been working on a new hopper myself), does it
have working doors on the bottom for dumping?

The baywindow caboose and gray gondola are 8-wide versions of some six
wide models I built.  (go to
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=345 for to see the six
wide caboose for comparison sake- I don't know where pics of the gondola
are).  I'm really pleased with the caboose, mainly because working in
the wider scale allowed me to overcome some of the problems I had
building the six wide version.

The third car here is covered hopper.  I ran out of 1x8 white plates so
only one side of this is complete.  I think I am going to rebuild this
in gray since I have a wider piece selection in that color.

I have three more cars and an engine in the works, but I'm waiting on
parts (I wish TRU would restock the droid escapes).

Let me know what you think.

(...) I, too, have been working on a hopper (90% completed) that doesn't dump out the bottom (neither does the proto) When I finish I'll post some pics-- I've got *lots* to show and tell:-) -John (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks, No opening doors on the hopper (yet!). I have some ideas for it but I wanted to get a finished model done. I'm actually working on another hopper that should be ready by the middle of january. -chris (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
