Model Railroading > Walthers Indiana Farm Bureau covered hopper

Walthers just released the PS-CD 4427 covered hopper in the Indiana Farm Bureau paint scheme. I had to pick up a couple because years ago we use to sell grain to the elevator in Princeton, IN. I cannot recall seing any of these  hoppers at the Princeton elevator but I'm sure some were loaded there. Saw a lot of "Big John" hoppers as the Southern served the elevator. A little weathering and Kadee couplers and will be ready for revenue service.

These hoppers sold like crazy around here. My go-to hobby shop did a lot of pre-orders plus some stock for the store. They were gone on the first day and he bought the rest Walthers had. As I understand it those are gone too now. Glad I pre-ordered mine!
