Jay, did you change out the wheelsets on the Athearn Covered Hoppers. The kits for years came with 33" diameter wheelsets and should have 36" diameter wheelsets. By replacing with 36" diameter metal wheels it will bring the coupler height to the proper height and improve the running qualtities. <br /> <br />Also the Athearn Car is a PS4740 and the Intermountain is a PS4750, which the C&NW had a lot of. This car is available as an undecorated kit and I am sure you can find decorated CNW kits also on dealer's shelves. <br /> <br />Rick
