Thanks for coming up with that link, Mike. The O.P.'s description and lack of photo threw me off.
I agree with maxman, as the Bowser car is very well done...

mbinsewiI don't know of any "close" hopper kits.
How about the Bowser H30?

NVSRR match this rebuilt 12 panel H30B?
I was expecting to see a picture.
Looks like a kit bash/scratch build project to me.
Here's a link I found for more pics.

From what I've read, they were used to haul sand. I don't know of any "close" hopper kits. You'll have to search around and find a kit that can be a starting point.
What is the closest hopper type available to match this rebuilt 12 panel H30B? Closest color match? Thanks Wolfie
