I have a set of 6 kits for the subject Hopper & have mislaid the assembly schematic.
From HO Seeker I have found one for the 1973 Hopper, but I think my kits , (the 6 shells in 1 box deal, parts on sprues etc), are more recent than that.
They appear to have a few more detail parts, including something so bl-dy small I can hardly see it to position it for gluing, even with tweezers.
Anyhow, does anyone know if Athearn put out a new version of this Hopper after 1973 & if there is a schematic online, somewhere??
Thanks

Hi Tanked. Athearn Make a few different styles of the 34' Open Hoppers. They made a Offset-Side, a Composite-Side, a Ribbed-Side. If you can tell which type you have I might be able to help you. Carl

Thanks Carl
I'll put up a photo of the components for 1 hopper this weekend .
I know the schematic was letter page size.

Ok, here are the components for 1 hopper, [short 1 truck I hadn't assembled & I think there should be 2 of the item 2nd up from the right hand corner]. I also left the coupler parts out of the photo.
Anyone have a schematic for this one??
Thanks
Tanked
