Haven't done any weathering yet. I'm not sure the one is even prototypical on this model car but it's sharp.

Any opinions out there about light weathering heavy weathering full grunge on any of these?

I couldn't pass up this design which features Saskatchewan's provincial flower, the tiger lily.

As far as I know, the Saskatchewan Grain Car Corporation doesn't own any TrinityRail hoppers. Nor, for that matter, does CP Rail. But what if...?

Should be available in the File Library soon, along with some fixes to the original upload.

CP & CN mostly have 5,431cu/ft hoppers, but if you close one eye and ignore a few details these are pretty close.

NOT counting 5161 hoppers marked specifically for individual railroads (I.e., BNSF, CSXT, SOO, etc.) the following reporting marks can be found on various shades of white and grey railcars; without any other special markings; in all kinds of rusted and weathered states. These could easily (may be talking out of turn as I can’t paint..) be made using the models we have now without worrying about “special” paint schemes and without repainting the entire car - you know, in their utility/everyday form.

FURX
CRDX
CGOX
GATX
GACX
AGPX
BORX
ADMX
FLIX
NAHX
NRLX
FCTX
CGEX
CEFX
ETCX
UTCX

I’m sure there are more as well......

Thanks,
