Enterprise twin hoppers?

[NW Mailing List]

There were a very few ex-NKP and nee-W&LE twin hoppers with build dates as early 
as 1936/7; but that won't help you for an N&W car in the 1940-42 era, as they 
did not become N&W cars until 1964.  Sorry!   Jim Nichols

Thanks, Jim.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that will help me much.  I'm 
modeling 1940-42, so a '47 build date is a little late for my purposes.  Of 
course, I could just paint them and pretend, or sell them...  you never know 
what I'll do next. :)
