Hey Craig or Chris or whomever you are today...

Any chance that you would consider adding the covered hopper hatch covers to your line of fine detail parts? These would be great for updating older cars.

Best wishes, Dave
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

That might be too close to a kit for comfort.  ;)

Watching the video, I think that Chad has a real winner on his hands with the 4000cuft.

Haha. I all seriousness, Craig's latest offering looks great... looking forward to getting a few of them.

Any of these 4000's lingering on today - ie. in some end of life service like salt or something...  I used to see a number of old, pathetic rusted out roller jobs with Cargill salt and GWIX reporting marks...

Cargill definitely had 4427s. Hint, hint...

Don't know about today, but "lasting into the 2000s" repeats here several times:

I checked the UMLER early in the year on some of the last known number series for CSX and BNSF (i.e, ATSF) PS-4000s.... their were a scant few, but that's no guarantee they were actually on the rails
