<DIV>I am only aware of two published photographs of the bicentennial
hopper. The back cover of Andrew Dow's N&W coal car book has a great
color side view in pristine paint. The N&W equipment color guide from
Morning Sun has an angled view, but the car is heavily weathered.</DIV>

Needed</DIV>

<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am currently upgrading my HO119 N&W Bicentennial set. Currently the
set will letter two SD-45's in that scheme. We are changing the set to do only
one locomotive, but we are adding the hopper, caboose and trailer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have the information I need for the trailer. It is at the VA
Museum of Transportation and other than some graffiti it still has all of the
original graphics. I am also covered on the caboose.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I need is information of the hopper. If anyone has perpendicular
side or end shots they would be willing to share I would be grateful.
Copies of drawings would also work. Does anyone know if they are
available in the archives?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
