legoman666 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Tried to use as much junk as possible. The insides are filled with wings and wedges. Bottom chutes are old boat/helicopter bottoms. Side panels are 4x6 tiles /w studs around 3 sides. Top cover (which I later changed) is white vehicle roofs. All sorts of snot. Only that that's actually studs up is the top. I later switched the top cover to 2x4x2/3 curved slopes. Looks more clean. Only a couple more finishing touches to put on it. Quote
supertruper1988 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Looks great! Any chance you could take some closeups of the trucks? I like the design of them and would like to incorporate it to my builds. Quote
IronFish Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 It looks great! When you get the chance you should post some pictures of the inside. Quote

I like the design of them and would like to incorporate it to my builds. Thanks! They are actually Cale Leiphart's design. Found it on flickr. Cheap pieces and easy to mass produce. You'll need 1/8" OD brass tubing to run the axles through. It looks great! When you get the chance you should post some pictures of the inside. It's just a mess of brackets and faded white brick. The bottom isn't even solid. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Wow! This hopper wagon looks absolutely more than decent ...I like it and I like the colors that you have used! Quote
