Tom,

I'm working on the same thing.  I think the best best would be to check with Des Plaines Hobbies.  Plano does these in HO but they don't do any O scale etchings.  I was going to do my own etch artwork for them and have them done by PPD or some other pro company.

 

We'll also need to source some of the round roof hatches.  The trough hatches are extremely rare on these cars.  I'm looked at the hatches for the older ACF Atlas hoppers.  Even if they are the right style, they don't show up as available in their online store.

 

Last thing will be to make sure the hopper gate styles are correct.  The current ones on the car should be ok for cement and possibly for sand.  There are other similar but slightly different styles used depending on the lading.

 

Let me know if you find the walkways.  I will definitely need quite a few.

Just checked the Des Plaines site.  They have O Scale America (OSA) walkways for the Weaver 4-bay cars and also for PS ps2 hoppers.  $25 and change for either one.  Both listed as "call for availability" so they may not be in stock.  Kinda pricey in my book for something that will be cut apart and potentially quite a bit wasted.
