Paul I will have to look into my "stash" of cars I put in totes when I bought 100 or so brand new ones from my neighbor.
After going through all those cars. Not a single coal loaded or empty hopper. Just a few modern covered hoppers. Did find out that Lionel makes some Southern hoppers that fit the era I'm going for. I can only find them in a six pack and they are very PROUD of them!!!! None of the Menards hoppers would look right to me.
