Good Day,
Some 4750 Hoppers I’d like to see produced. What are your favorite road names?

Did the CSX or Norfolk Southern have any? if so I'm in. Being a former grocery exec. the Frito-lay one is a must have.
Atlas O has to offer the same schemes that Tangent Models is offering.
Grand Trunk Western 1972
Penn Central 1974
Milwaukee Road 1974

For the Time period of the PS-4750 you would have to use Family Lines & Seaboard System or Norfolk and Western or they would need to find examples of the repaints by CSX and NS.
Nice job, Frank. I prefer the mineral brown ATSF over the white ones Atlas announced.
There is a group of Frito Lay leased PS-2-CD 4750 3-Bay Hoppers that have the Frito Lay logo on a centered sign-plate.
I saw a CSX PS-2-CD 4750 Hopper that had the reporting marks and road number patched over for a new owner. The CSX hoppers were light tan or yellow with basic black graphics.
I prefer the Family Lines and Seaboard System graphic schemes on the PS-4750.
