New Run of Walthers Greenville Hoppers Out...

[ljudice]

Not as exciting as the BLMA flats or the Atlas forum, but the new run of Walthers Greenville cars is out.  I received mine - the NS spartan scheme and the SOU Claytor (black) scheme - and they look great although one car had a wobbly wheelset.  Not good for the price, but whatever....

Question for you guys to the south, do ex-Conrail stone/aggregate cars (the gray 3 bay ones with end platforms) - ever mix in with these?  I've not noticed this on the Roanoke Railcam.....

I have seen a couple but they are not that often spotted... but then I don't get by the tracks close enough to see much either...

The H1Ks are rare compared to the multiple classes of former Southern aggies... I've only seen two in this area... and those were coupled together on a set-off track.

Thanks guy, thats what I thought from the photo evidence...

Used to see them every once in awhile on the CSX in Atlanta and North Georgia. But not at all in the last 8/9 years.

Those are indeed nice looking cars.
