Here are my Great Northern woodchip cars. MTH electric trains makes a smooth side woodchip car. They do not make one in the Great Northern Road name. None of these woodchip cars have ribs steel supports on the sides as the ones do in real life. I had to completely redo the car. It is a custom paint job with the correct big sky blue paint I am a member of the Great Northern Railway historical society and have color chips. The decals were also completely custom made. The only thing that is original about this car or the trucks the couplers and the square box belongs to MTH. Everything else is mine.
