Hey Buss; did you read where the UP has taken back ownership of one of its Big Boys and is going to return it to service.

Pete Hi there. Our tables will be in a different place. We wont be in the back half. We got moved on the window side of the hall. Close to the first group of exit doors from the main entrance. Closer to the food now and away from the Layouts.

Frank, does that B&O hopper have some sort of cardstock sides to overlay the brass car sides?

Hi Glenn; The early Mantua 2 bay coal cars had a brass hopper bin, cast ends and frame. You purchased the kit like that. Your hobby shop dealer let you pick the printed sides with the road name you wanted. These sides are cardstock, embossed to give raised rivet and seam details. My photo shows the complete kit with its box and a built up Reading car. Most of there cars, reefer, box, gondola, and this 2 bay hopper were the same. You bought the kit and you picked the road name. These cars were made in the 1940s and 1950s. HOseeker has a few of the old Mantua catalogs you can view on his site.

Buy the car, pick the roadname. That was a clever way to keep material costs down! The expensive metal car gets sold no matter what and if a certain roadname or three didn't sell they wasted a little cardstock, big deal. That would mean many more cardstock sides were made than cars to put them on, so I wonder if there isn't a stockpile of the things in some dusty old warehouse somewhere! That'd be a cool find!

Glen; for its time one of the smartest marketing ideas. As to saved extra sides. every now and then some show up at train shows. I am looking for one for my gondola kit. I have one of each a gondola, reefer, and a hopper. I only have a set of sides for the hopper. I built the reefer from a kit that had sides for College Inn, a soup company. In tank cars I have no boxed kit built, or not built. I have 5 different tank cars of the type Gulf, Quaker State, Republic Oil, Shell, and Valvoline. All are all metal construction with printed and embossed cardstock sides.
* in the photo with the most trains in it, is a Central of Georgia gondola. That is one of the paper sided gondolas. I also have the Pennsylvania RR one.
