WOW!!!!! I finally got my first set of these cars yesterday. They are a dream come true for all of us loyal N&W followers. I never thought I'd ever get to see such a beautiful model of one of our favorite cars. Thanks BLI!!!

Roger;

Did you get the 17" lettering or 24" lettering? If the 24"; what are the dates?

My 17" lettered ones have shipped, not yet arrived.

Mine are the 24" letters. The cars are 26000, 26017, 26045, 26048, 26050 & 26061. The dates are 4/56. These things are really gorgeous and boy do they roll!

What are the dates that the N&W 17" lettering and 24" lettering were adopted for the H2a hoppers?

I was looking at them, until I read about the couplers pockets. They have plastic knuckle couplers and will not
accept Kadee coupler springs.

I did recently purchase a six pack of Athearn RTR N&W Hoppers. Nice cars with
metal wheelsets.
