re: PC: HO Scale PC Hopper

[gharmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I was pretty excited about these too, but when I saw one at the local hobby 
shop, it seemed that the green was definitely wrong.  I think it's way too 
dark for even a new PC covered hopper (it's more like BN green). Other 
opinions?

covered hoppers lettered for Penn Central from Intermountain Railway
Co. (the order number is 40321).  I wanted to drop a line to list to say 
that
these models are excellent.  I recommend them for any Penn Central
modeler.  (I am unsure how long they have been out, so many readers of
this post may already have them).  Intermountain has a twelve different
numbers available and the kits come assembled ($23.00ea.) or
unassembled ($16.00ea.).  I purchased the assembled models and noted
that the workmanship and detail are superb.  Because of the fine detail,
assembling the kits yourself requires a good deal of time (about 3-4
hours each).  They are available from your local hobby store or directly
from the company.

retail distributor) at 800-472-2530.
