More on above...
I have 2 or 3 Minitrix models from 1970s of what I understand to be the GA-111 design...
in various paint, not ATSF, but have never seen pix of the ATSF GA-111 or GA-117, so I cannot be sure of how to repaint and detail....

Santa Fe ACF 3-bay covered hoppers GA-111 & GA-117

I was doing a New Year's "what rolling stock should I buy" inventory comparing Santa Fe's prototype roster for the time I model, late 1950s, to my N scale roster. I read in
Santa Fe High Iron
magazine back in SepOct1972 p.20 that ConCor and Minitrix 3-bay covered hoppers resembled Santa Fe's ACF-built GA-111 and GA-117. Went to my computer file of thousands of ATSF rolling stock pictures by ATSF class and car number to check for myself. Discovered I didn't have any pictures or diagrams of GA-111 or GA-117 anywhere! Anyone have any pictures of these cars? Or know a source?
