I started some coke hoppers yesterday. I need to find some older photos of these cars with the round logo for decaling. I have recent photos.

Is this the current logo?
That is it but I believe they had it in all white on the coke hoppers at one time. MTH did a version some time ago, which I have. I just wanted a photo for data and placement.
Thanks,
Dave
Dave did you look at the URR in color book? I also have some advertisment pics from the URR but they were gons. Interested I will post
And yes All white was the collor scheme. Dang western Pennsylvania dream big (but in black and white ;_)

Here is one I finished for my friend Marty. He go me a detailed photo of the real car. Although there are many things incorrect with the donor car, it will work for me.
If I can find more cars, I will make them but MTH only had 9 coke hoppers.

Very nice. I am also on a "Union RR mission". I finished my switcher and caboose ....thanks to King Mouse's generous gift of decals. Now, I'm painting three mill gondolas I scored on d'Bay. I took some "before pictures" ......and I will take some during the process......now if I can only load 'em up to share. Tom in Picksburgh
Hey Dave, great looking coke "Racks" as we call them on the "U". What did you use for the base (donor) car?
Tom,
Make sure you post some pics or just stop up with those!
Mark,
I used MTH coke hoppers. The sides are just sheets of .015" plastic glued over the ribs. The hoppers are a little too long and have roller bearing trucks but they will work for me.

Dave,
Your work never ceases to amaze me.
