Model Railroading > Received via the Interchange Track Rapido Hoppers-Very Nice

These HO, Enterprise covered hoppers are very finely detailed and beauties. Who would think that people would love freight cars. <G> The Canada Southern car is a nice touch. I received them promptly from White Rose Hobbies off eBay at less than retail and reasonable shipping.

Nice looking models.  Did any like this make it out west?

Rapido also does some in green Penn Central.

I don't know, but these cars did carry minerals and chemicals other than cement. From what I understand, cement was usually short haul and stayed online. I may use them for a glass plant on my railroad. I also have a Bowser, PRR H30 covered hopper that is a real beauty. I need to get some Wabash covered hoppers. I model the 1950s.

Edit: I believe these cars Rapido offers with round hatches were used for food service ingredients. (Those pictured here are the sqaure-hatch version.)
