Sandersville covered hoppers

I would like to kitbash a pair of Sandersville covered hoppers. Who makes the equivalent or closest to the Sandersville covered hopper? Earl...

Sandersville uses 4,000 cf  Pullman Standard 3 bay covered hopper  so a Intermountain 4,750 cf covered hopper is the closest and if you want exact you will need modify these hoppers because the length and height is off...

Since I hate chopping up high end cars I would simply paint and letter Athearn's FMC covered hopper.

Earl,

Any movement on the Sandersville covered hoppers?

I have been thinking of maybe doing a couple of these also.  I used to see Sandersville hoppers all the time at a mill up here in Maine, have not seen any for a couple of  years now.  Will have to check out the Intermountain hopper to see if it is close enough.  Close enough is close enough for me.

I bought a Roundhouse 50' FMC Sandersville covered hopper off of eBay a couple of weeks ago.  I'm planning on using this as a draft for two undecorated FMC Roundhouse hoppers I have on deck. Earl...
