<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I would
love to find a large source of 55 or 70 ton hoppers. I have somewhere
between 250-350 currently, but would like to get that number up around 500 for
my next layout. I have been buying them on ebay and scouring Google but
the going is slow. What about a custom run by either of these companies?
I have not really kept up with the, but believe MDC was sold/discontinued?,
and Athearn was bought by someone (Walthers?). I sure miss the days when
I could pick them up for $4-8 each from the hobby shops. 150 $25 hoppers
is not realistic. Thanks for any suggestions.<BR><BR>Mike Rector<BR><!-- cg4.c902.mail.ac4.yahoo.com compressed/chunked Fri Jan 22 13:34:25 PST 2010 --></DIV><BR>
