When I got my two cars in the mail, the box weighed five pounds! Now that I see the pictures, our cars are the same make.
My car has three small holes cast into the top of each side. It came with a piece of wood that fit into the top with coal glued to it and had six small brass brads in the holes to hold it in place. The original owner never bothered to paint under the wood block.
I have compared ours to pictures of identified Q scale hoppers. Thus far, I have not found an exact match.
D500 mentioned that he 3 railed a few of these cars. I ended up using a set of weaver cast trucks and a custom bolster on the hopper. The tank car will get different trucks.
I would love to get some more of these if anyone knows of any for sale.
