[quote user="Dave-the-Train"] <P>I held off getting (coal) hoppers for my 80s just-west-of-Chicago model for ages figuring that boxcars, covered hoppers and tankcars would dominate... but then I stumbled on a pile of Bowser ATSF hoppers with unique numbers and a fairly late build date. I'm a sucker of strings of the same or very similar cars... so... how do I explain non-unit trains of hoppers?</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Hey, I'm having the same type of problem! I also like to see long strings of similar cars. So, I started buying Walthers 26' Ore Cars only to find out that they NEVER carried coal. Now, I want to find the right coal hoppers, but I can't use eastern roads! What's a guy to do? [;)]</P>
