The Glacier Line update: here are my new 8 hoppers of Great Northern. These are full sized O scale and are very well done! I just can't believe how inexpensive these were. I got all of these cars for an average price of $16.82. Unbelievable! A normal average price for these cars is about $40 a piece of the other manufacturers.
The scale is very close. The weight is close to NMRA standards. The appearance is great!
