I am building my HO scale Nashville and Eastern and am looking for a manufacturer for these.They are rapid discharge aggregate hoppers used on the N&E to haul sand to the concrete mixers I think.I know I will have to repaint them but I just cant seem to find a model of them.

Not even brass, sadly.

You might be able to bash one from a Walthers Ortner.

No they're made by National Steel Car, not FCA.

Good call... didn't see the NSC logo on end... thought the white square in the middle was the FCA logo...

I've seen whole strings of these cars coming new out of Hamilton marked for MWAX (Martin Marrieta Materials) a couple years ago. Around the same time or just a little earlier, NSC was also delivering a bunch of gons to MWAX.

There's a apparently at least a couple other owners of these hoppers out there, but the MWAX ones are the only ones I've caught.
