To All: Today I start a series on covered hoppers I run on the layout. Photo #1--Wilkem Scientific was heavily weathered. This is a freelanced car. Photo #2--Caum Salt is a car I picked up used.
It has been modified for salt service. Photo #3--I use this Detroit & Machinaw RR covered hopper for cement service, as seen by the heavy weathering job. Photo #4--This Spokane International covered hopper is a Bowser product. Photo #5--A Walthers SI covered hopper. I painted and lettered the car. Photo #6--I weathered this Stauffer Chemicals covered hopper. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout
