    I found this on walthers.

    15810 5-Bay Ortner Rapid Discharge Hopper -- Denver, Rio Grande & Western N 14.95 N TBA (Adv. Res.)

    15811 5-Bay Ortner Rapid Discharge Hopper -- Denver, Rio Grande & Western N 44.85 N TBA (Adv. Res.)

    I can't find them on the red caboose website.

    Is it true? any pics?

    Thanks,

    I think the first question is:

    Are these accurate?

    I'm not personally aware of DRGW having any 5-bay Ortners (at least not thru 1993).

    I know we will have the DRGW (ex-WP rotary) 90-100 Ton cars later this year which will be a nice addition to any DRGW fleet. 70001 thru 70240 series.

    I have never heard of any DRGW 5-bay Ortners... However, a CSDU/CSDPU hopper would be correct, and highly desirable.............
