Another "new" Iowa Interstate hopper
Author: bnsfsd70

Just finished this model of IAIS #8065 and thought that you all might be interested in seeing it. I sure enjoy working on these patched freight cars and trying to match them up to prototype photos. If you haven't tried it yourself, I'd urge you to try. Definitely more work involved than just generic weathering, but far more rewarding as well.

Thanks man. Yeah, I know that that's on the list to go next, but I wanted to get some of these shots up here since I had finished it.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Especially impressed by the attention to detail with the second patch on the reporting marks. I presume this was an IATR car for a while before IAIS got it.

Great patch job! These Evans covered hoppers offer a lot of options for second-hand projects.
