Hey all, just saw over on E-pay, that someone is selling a modern version of a Santa Fe 2-bay round top hopper, and for only $20.00 bucks!!mg: They are a resin kit that is complete except for trucks. I don't model the newer stuff, but it looks pretty nice for the price! I thought you guys might wanna' take a look.
Allan Borg These are creations by a long time, fellow Z scaler named Alln Borg.

Are they the same quality as a MTL piece of rollingstock? That is for you to decide! I use to make Z scale PS2 covered hoppers. I may be critical of my own scratchbuilding and cast resin reproductions, but my quality never was up to par with MTL or Marklins! Hobo Tim
