Can I play along even if I'm a 2-railer? These are 3-rail...for now. I just got three of them. I will need to put 2-rail trucks and kadee couplers on them for my purposes.

Why not! 2R or 3RS, no discrimination here.
my preference is for the UP scheme but I have been unable to justify the money for these hoppers. As nice as they are $95 is just too much

Me too. I like these, and the red 60' high cubes, and the engines with the new scheme. I could see pursuing it as a road to model. The only problem is you need a lot of space to do it justice. Spiral tunnels!!!

Yeah....I keep an eye out for them being resold. I just got these on auction at about $60 per. Tried to get all seven! The wallet was happy to settle for three. Me not so much.

I just sold 7 of these CPR (SOO) hoppers on eBay and they are awesome.
The 25,500 gallon tank cars are just as impressive.
You can get these new for around $80-$85.

Lol, well then I probably just bought three of these from you.
Arrived today in good order.

Recently got my Legacy Y6B, #2171 (thanks, Pat!) as well as the Legacy Polar Express K-4. Looking forward to many years of service from them on the Polar & Ohio RR!

Cool! Glad you like 'em! I know I did. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm going to list next.
I really like those Pennsy cars!

You will love this locomotive. It's one of my all time favorites and I even prefer it to my VL BB. Simply one of the best Lionel products made in recent years.
Congrats, enjoy your new toy.

I would like to set up a closely spaced field full of these and all the other bubbling accessories there are. As for now, I leave this attached to a transformer right here in the kitchen and stare transfixed at the bubbling action while listening to the radio.
