More hoppers, please.

 

No layout scene to sport them yet but another dozen DMIR ore hoppers added to the roster, was a heck of a find at Scale Model Supply last Winter.

All brand new is almost unheard of.

 

More hoppers please.

There was a time when GE used so much silica sand for glassmaking that they kept their own fleet of covered hoppers for the transportation of the material:

Oops, you say. I have had the occasional derailment caused by some idiot failing in his turnout duties.Whistling However, this is the one and only real wreck I have ever had, caused by my sister waving her arms around as she was flappin her gums. You can see the rear of the train way back in the corner of the room, where the guys in the caboose are wondering what has happened.

 

Please show me another OH OH kind of moment.

I actually have no idea if potatoes were ever hauled in gondolas, but I wanted a load for the IDAHO AND TEXAS car that would be unique.

Show me another unusual load.
