Reply to "Lion Scale 2 bay wood chip hoppers question"

The Weaver wood chip cars were very successful. The first generation started life as kits in the 90's I think.

They were first released in the mid 1980s. I was still living in Baltimore and remember as I and a friend bought a few and did not add the side/end "extensions" so we could use them as two-bay hoppers. The Weaver wood chip car was a regular two-bay rib-side hopper with rib-side extensions glued onto the top of the regular hopper sides. Now I think that I should have saved the non-used extensions to make some shorty traction gondolas.
