Over the Thanksgiving Break from school, I worked on two covered hoppers that I have been wanting to do for a while. As you may know, I have a small bedroom switching layout depicting Conrail's Allegheny Industrial track. I wanted to modify these two Bowser hoppers, factory decorated for Clinchfield and Erie Lackawanna, to be "patch-out" cars for an industry on my layout called Davidson Aggregates. See the following pictures for a more in depth explanation. I enjoyed this project and it was my first real experience decaling and weathering. -Charlie

Very well done Charlie. Great eye for the detail and presentation top notch. Keep up the good work on updating, modifying and weathering equipment. One thing I might suggest with regard to the car numbering is to center up the car number under the reporting marks. The prototype in all likelihood would have the car number more centered. The car looks good and I'd like to see the other hopper when it's finished. Great job!
