FYI, if anyone thinks ¡°too old¡±, here is a ballast car conversion that showed up in 2020. Still sitting there, but there are some more in service -G&W/P&W/NECR.

Hey Mike;
This is great! I¡¯ve been waiting a long time for a non-brass version of this ACF hopper.
This right here is probably ¡°the future of S¡±, individuals using the tech available to make things for other modelers.

Well, Guys,
Sorry for taking so long, but after months of tweaking, the ACF 70
Ton Hopper is finally at a point, that I feel comfortable this model will go together as planned. I tried painting it as a built-up model,?
but there were too many nooks and crannies that you could not get paint into. Therefore, I¡¯m offering it up as a 3D resin kit, (trucks?
and couplers are not included).The cost is $75.00 each?and includes free shipping to the lower 48 states only. Please contact me,?
off this list, mike@..., if you are interested.
