Here's my contribution. These are all custom decorated Weaver 2 and 3 bay hoppers that I letterd using various Microscale and Champ decals and Greg Komar dry transfers. I still have two more cars to letter NYC but I'm having a hard time finding decals or dry transfers. In the background you can see a Weaver 3-bay covered hopper that will be lettered for the Iowa Interstate. I need a few cars to run behind my Rock Island Heritage ES44 and IAIS GP7.

Here's my Seaboard Whalebelly Hopper:
and my Seaboard PS2 Covered Hopper:
I guess the Whalebelly doesn't count, as it's only got one bay, but I can't help myself
Both are Weaver cars. The Whalebelly was built using a Weaver 50' tank car and the PS2 hopper was simply repainted/relettered.

Bob thanks for sharing your hoppers with us. Very Nice!!
You're welcome pops! That photo makes the car appear a bit longer than it really is.
Ed Reutling "pushed" me to do this, he wanted to do a SCL version at the same time so we collaborated on our builds and obtaining the decals (thanks Ed!).
A small number of RRs had this hopper. It's been done and recently re-done in HO and I think there may have been a brass version in O at one time. I'd like to see the manufacturers do a few oddball cars like this. I'd like to have another, but other projects keep me from doing one.
