@rail posted:You sure picked one heck of a hopper to work with; those Intermountain hoppers are so delicate with all the fine detail parts. I was making some coal loads for a friend, and I broke a few parts just handling it. Great job, and it's your hopper, so don't let the nay-sayers bother you.
Thanks! The grabs and airline were replaced with brass. That parts are just too brittle to handle.
