Ryan,
No problem. What you describe is essentially what I recommended Dan do to be able to model a whole train but he declined to do it. What you describe is a great approach to effectively model

I am familiar with Dan's model and it is fantastic. I understand why he built only one. And I didn't mean to diminish any of the work he did on that model by making the point that the kitbash boiled

Ryan,
In regards to your assertion that the SOU 4-bay ortners are an easy kitbash, I have to disagree. My good friend Dan Bourque built one of these cars and he said to get the model correct it was

Jason Greene is correct that Southern never had car classes. Any photo you see of a Southern freight car with a class designation was taken after the Sou/NS merger. At that time, the new NS

Re: Southern Railway Aggregate Hoppers
I see what you mean about the term "stenciling" Ike. I have run across drawings that lay out where each individual stencil is to be applied, which I believe is what you're referring to. Those drawings

In this discussion I was referring to the N scale model only to point out that it had all the data one would expect to find on the other cars in the series. I wonder if this was based in fact or if it

I've got the impression that Ortner hopper only had that scheme for a short period of time. It might have made a few trips in blue, but since it wasn't in interchange service they might not have felt

The Southern did not have classes for the freight cars.
