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...

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.

Earl,

Any movement on the Sandersville covered hoppers?

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.

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