I thought that this would be a discussion on Erik Estrada.   ;D   Seriously, I like the C&O and SCL cars, but I'm not sure if those are foobies created by Athearn or not.

Not sure about the roads offered, but it's PDC* to N&W's early 60s home builts (based on VGN ordered H34 hoppers).

*Pretty Damn Close

I'd love to get this Ortner built chipper in N too:

But I'll probably have to scratchbuild that one.

I'm not sure about SCL/ACL Hoppers although they had regular 70 Ton hoppers, but the C&O's are right. They did convert a bunch of 70 Ton 3 bays to Woodchip hoppers that lasted into the very early 80's.

Nice! I was looking at making "modern" version of the B&M extended side Woodsville chip hopper and this does all the work for me!
