Anybody got any of these yet? I got some coming from COHS in the 4 progress scheme, and one in roman lettering scheme coming any day now. These appear to be good looking hoppers and these are a must for the era I am modeling...1959! 5 single road numbers and the COHS 6 packs in the 4 progress scheme are in 6 different numbers as well. The 4 progress scheme is only available through the COHS and you must reserve them in advance I believe for $99.00 a six-pack. Dave
Atlas 2-bay Offset Side Hopper-Peaked End I got all 5 of the Roman lettering only scheme from BLW last Monday. I'm also ordering the six-pack "For Progress" version from the COHS. The 5 cars i received are quite nice, what really impresses me is how weighty they feel when you hold one. The hopper shutes/underframe seem to be die-cast metal. I believe i'm starting to get enough coal hoppers for a half-decent long coal train! Good job on this one, Atlas!!!!! Berkmeister
I am still waiting on the COHS ones which are going to be worth the wait to me...but I did get one from another hobby shop and I have to say it is a very nice hopper! Gonna have to have a lot of these as well! Dave
