True, I've visited it several times. I also occasionally pass the Warp's Flex-O-Glass factory in Dixon, IL.

1st thing I learned about the Warps Plastics car,,i pass this on to anyone that also manages to acquire one,, ADD WEIGHTS ! A sneeze at range of 100 feet with your back to the car will make it derail.
That car makes a feather feel like a lead ingot weight wise.
Pennies are the cheapest weights I can think of for the misers out there,,maybe a bit of
glue to hold them in place.

I think that might be the only Cox car I have.
I cheated with the 7-11 and Chef cars,,the floor units with the knuckle cuplers and trucks
are from more modern 50ft Bachmann trainset [ultra cheap shells] boxcars,,they just happened to be a perfect fit  so I can run them with my more modern stuff without fuss.

Ugh, jealous of that warp's plastics hopper. I have 8 or 9 of that one in different paint schemes but that yellow one eludes me! So far, N&W, ACL, MILW, CB&Q, C&NW, the obligatory Jack Frost Sugar car, Koppers Plastics (custom), general malting, and some others in a box that I can't remember.
And YES... ADD WEIGHT... a couple of ounces wouldn't hurt. I've gotten really awful with these things though... I started chopping off all the steps on the ladders and replacing them with wire grab irons. They look SO realistic but it takes me about an hour and a half per car, and that's without painting the brass wire
