Very good information. Now, is there any in formation available on those great looking B&O "wagon top" 70 ton covered hoppers? I picked up a brass model of one at this past March Meet, and it is truly a SPECTACULAR car. Since it had no box, nor any ID on the under frame, we have no clue who the importer was. I currently have it over to my custom modeler/painter buddy's house for pickling & priming prior to a coat of Floquile "SP Lettering Gray" and then decalling.
The B&O made all sorts of "wagon top" pieces of equipment, but no manufacturer has yet offered an ABS model of these great looking covered hoppers in O Scale.
