If you or anyone else for that matter has any cool pictures of Clinchfield hopper I'll try to get as close as I can in a re-paint.

Well, not just hoppers, but ......
Clinchfield versions of the rolling stock in the Kingwood Branch Route would be period perfect for transition period stuff. (‘Cause personally I’m running some big steam on this route as well.). There’s lots of B&O and C&O stuff in that one that could be used for NW, Interstate, Southern, V&O as well. The pictures I have in a book show Clinchfield coal trains mixing 70 and 100 hoppers up through 1980’s.
Attached is stock report on the Clinchfield.

I don't usually do photo reproductions but this one was too good to pass up.

Looking very nice. Will be a great asset to the route.
Interestingly, on the Clinchfield video I mentioned on the DTG thread, as late as 1992 a lot of the coal hoppers still had ‘CLINCHFIELD’ lettering. Some had lost the ‘CL’ and only had ‘INCHFIELD’ on the sides. All had CSXT reporting marks although one (#343085) had a ‘CSTX’ mark!

I'm going to wait and see what comes out with the route before I do much more. Then we will see.
