One of my favorite covered hoppers, the prototype used to run behind my house.

More Covered Hoppers!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

I’m not sure if this car fits Kevins request for an interesting load because I gather by the time the holes were cut in the gondolas side, the cement containers were permanent fixtures.

Pease show me another car in cement service.
Cheers, the Bear.

More dome cars, please.

.

Well, the STRATTON & GILLETTE has no dome cars in the fleet, with no plans to ever add any.

.

However, I did see these dome cars on the Florida S Scalers modular layout at a train show in Tampa.

.

 

.

Show me another dome car.
