Just wanted to ask if anyone has a list of all the roadnames that the old AHM 3-bay outside braced covered hopper came in so I know how many more I have to hunt down. So far I've got:
-CB&Q -Milwaukee -C&NW green -N&W -Wabash -Warp's Plastics (NAHX) -Jack Frost Sugar (ASRX) -Great Western Malting Co. (NAHX) -Koppers Plastics (custom painted as DYLX 1001) -ACL (this doesn't count, it's a Con-Cor remake but I keep it with the rest)
Working on getting all 10 equipped with Kadee couplers, correct Athearn trucks/wheels with screws instead of pins, and wire grabirons. Anyone happen to know how much added weight these things need to meet NMRA specs, or does nobody do that around here?--CRC

Forgot they had AHM stuff. I go there for Athearn info all the time. Thanks Ben.
Still to go: -B&O -EJ&E (I'm a bit of an EJ&E fan, so this takes priority!) -Florida Tile -Naugatuck Plastics -PC -Quaker Cane Sugar (NEVER seen this one) -Staley -Bakelite/Union Carbide -UP--CRC

NMRA weight standards call for 1 oz. plus 1/2 oz for every inch of car length. I do all my rolling stock.Edited by - Retired Alex on April 05 2015 7:46:09 PM

I know the standard, I just can't find my scale to see how much the first completed car weighs. Aside from the weight, I just finished the Great Western Milling car 15 min ago; it is BEAUTIFUL Pics tomorrow.--CRC
