What should have been an easy project has turned into a quest as we try to find the right H43 type hoppers for a decent price. I've been working on my hopper fleet ever since Ralph coined the phrase "There's nothing that epitomizes railroading like a coal train".

Looks like your getting more PC hoppers into the fleet.

I always enjoy watching GP9s in action. Great to witness the first siting of Empire Belt equipment and what an entrance with the three powerful U Boats in the new scheme. They look fantastic as do the boxcars and caboose! I agree with Neal about the lettering on the caboose cupola. Nice touch!
