Hello N scalers of the Earth,
We're working on a new group of 3-Bay Offset Side Hoppers. Check them out here:  http://bluford-shops.com/bluford_93_041.htm
This batch covers about a 55 year span.

How long did the B&O cars last in that scheme?

I'll be in for a couple of Pere Marquette cars.  The branch line that once served the ferry docks is 500 feet north of my house. While most of the traffic would have been to and from the ferries and the Dow plant (calcium chloride and bromide), no doubt some of those hoppers would have been on this line.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

We have pictures on file of hoppers in this scheme that have received ACI tags which takes you north of 1967. The paint would have only been about a decade old by that time so you could easily go another decade after that.

FYI...

The text in your link is not readable as lines of print over lay others.  Not the first time this has happened on your announcements.

I am running Firefox (April 5, 2022 Version 99.0)   Window 10 Pro

Finally a Bluford Shops announcement that didn’t cost me a hundred dollars. Thanks for the break! Keep up the good work.

Assuming you mean Craig's link at the top of the page, it looks fine to me- also running Firefox 99.0, but on Zorin Linux.  It also read fine for me on Friday when it was first posted.  Mine is set for 16 and 12 point type, 110% zoom.  I do have a similar issue occasionally with some other sites, but not the Bluford site.
