Before I get any Cabosse from Mr Gibson I like the old Tyco Dutch Cleaner covered hoppers. I have 2 so far and like to get up to around 10 of them.
I have up graded mine with Kadee's cupler boxes and #5's and PK wheels and must say I like them alot. Yes, I am try E-Stupid as well and hope to win a few in the next 5 days.
I would perfer stock, but wethered and up graded would be fine as well.
List here or PM me.
Yes MR Gibson, I know they are junk just like the other 40 feet of junk I am hauling now.
Junk man Ken, posting again!

Ken,
I still have my first HO set, the Tyco Chattanooga Diesel set from the late 70s. The engine is long gone but I have the cars. One of them was this hopper. I replaced the trucks with Athearn’s / KD’s and it runs very well. Sorry, I do not want to get rid of it. It reminds me of just how far I have come.
I would look at some area train shows, I see lots of old Tyco for sale at the ones I attend.
Sounds like your having a great time, that is all that matters.
I do not know if anyone sent you this link to Tyco as well as other manufacturers. http://tycotrain.tripod.com/tycotrains/index.html

Kenny, If I had a dozen of those Tyco Dutch Cleaners I'd give them to you for free, just so you woudn't get the "caboose", if you know what I mean
Please forgive my ignorance. "PK" wheels?
Jeff
Proto1000-2000 wheels I think he means.
Jeff, I think I am using the right slang for Proto wheels.
Driline I wish you did have them but I have won 1 for $4.99 and 5 40 foot gondolas. (spell check) Loacl seller so no shipping cost.
Sunset, thanks for the posting you PM me. I will look at it a little closer later.
Did any other companys make them or only TYCO?
Any other old Dutch cars?
They took a little work, but way easyer to work with than the Athearn 56 foot hopper I bulit. Boy they are a pain to bulid.
Looking for more junk again, Cuda Ken
