Bluford has posted shots of decorated samples for their upcoming 3 bay hoppers. Look pretty nice!

They will do better with these than they did with the boxcars. And they did good with the boxcars. Craig and Steve do awesome work. Can't wait to see the Central of Georgia's.

Oh man... Now I can start amassing B&O hoppers for the Cherry Run to Rutherford run-throughs...

I wonder what those cars would look like with "Laurel Valley" on the sides?...  Probably a lot like this:

Only better! ;D

I'll have to see if Bluford is set up to play ball they way ESM is...  A 4 pack would run about $100!  Yeesh!  It's expensive to move coal these days!

Looks good. Hoping in future runs for some Clinchfield (finally, CRR hoppers that "fit" the 60s/70s!) and some WM too!

The rib spacing on the rib car is all wrong for a WM 70 tonner.  With them being so close together, it'll be hard to foobie and still look marginally right.

I've sent an inquiry to Steve regarding a run of offset cars...  We shall see how the numbers run.

I'll have to look that up in my Funk and Wagnalls...  That could get expensive!
