I'll post a hopper too. Here's a Life Like hopper painted for SP, with a gravel load.

I think I have a bone to pick this week, and it's appropriate to dump it into this open hopper by Model Power. one of the few non-Purina cars I have related to pets. If anyone knows of any other pet-related train cars, I'd like to know about them. I have most of the Purina open and closed hoppers, boxcars, etc. Are there any Horse, Parrot, or other pet-related cars out there? Anyway, here's the hopper to fill with choppers.
Still looking for miniature plastic bones for this car, so far, nothing. With halloween coming up, maybe I can find some at the craft stores.

Don't know about plastic bones, but my kids regularly buy mini bones out of a candy machine at Wally World. They're like Sweet tarts, hard, with a gloss coat not easily affected by humidity, perfect for running in the car for folks to nibble out of.

Yup, I know of them, Bonz, I get them from a Toys R Us vending machine, but one guy, when I posted about them in another thread, said they'd get sticky and tacky if you left them in the car. I was going to glue them in, but apparently the corn starch in them will be affected by heat, etc. He spoke from the voice of experience in cleaning them up after his kids, in his car, etc. Carrying them around in a hot car wouldn't be good for them, or the hopper either, apparently. So, need another alternative, or like you said, use them as an appetizer for kids at train shows, and don't keep them around long. :) I'm thinking about that as well.
