FYI new from Full Throttle WDW #1014 Denver and Rio Grande Western Cylindrical Hoppers in D&RGW orange Set #1 reporting numbers: 15586 and 15593 Set #2 reporting numbers: 15589 and 15596 Set #3 reporting numbers: 15590 and 15599
Question! Did D&RGW actually have any 3 bay covered cylindrical hoppers painted in this orange scheme? Just a question! Hobo Tim
not that i have ever seen or heard of. but i'll dig deeper (again) to discover if there ever were some on the roster. i've been surprised before. i think i'll buy a set anyway, because they are so nicely done. here's a link to the 15580 series cars, which were 4 bay covered hoppers, but not cylindrical hoppers. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=504753
I like the road OK, but the scheme is kind of loud. Same with BNSF pumpkins, so I don't own any of those. That's the beauty of model railroading, you can collect just what you like!
