Looking for prototype of hopper car model
| April 26, 2014 09:39PM |
Today I saw this narrow gauge wood hopper car at a train show. Couldn't find out much about it there, but I was wondering if anyone here knows if it's based on some prototype or just freelanced. Looking for a drawing of similar, or photos of proto examples.
I've seen models of hopper cars with a much more stout structure of bigger timbers in the traditional fashion, but not one that is gondola-like on the sides with stake pockets and vertical stakes only.
