BN wood chip hoppers?

Posted by Anonymous on Monday, August 9, 2004 5:26 PM

Did the Burlington Northern have woodchip hoppers? If they did, can anyone provide me with a photo?
Thanks,
Reed

Reed,

Did the BN have woodchip hoppers? Are you kidding me? Did the NW have coal hoppers?

The BN had (has) a variety of woodchip hoppers. The best place to look is on the Fallen Flags site. Go to the BN listings...

http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bn/bn.html

Then scroll down to the HTS and GTS car listings (the 58xxxx number range) and knock yourself out.

Or do a Google search for "BN woodchip" in quotes, because there are still more pics around the web.

Thanks. I had not thought to look on Google. I was wondering because I hadn't seen any in production in HO.
Thanks,
Reed

Walthers used to make them...they're out of production now.

LBF still makes them. Go to www.lbfproducts.com
