MOC 80 ton Covered Hopper Wagon

[Barduck]

Actually, this should be read as: My Own Copy. Some time ago I found this model by Michael Gale in his Flickr account: https://www.flickr.c...le/11256437495/

There is only problem with it, the dark green parts are non excisting so if I wanted to build something like it I would have to take another color. I went for red and am planning to build it in yellow aswell. There's some things that I couldn't figure out how he did it from only one render so I had to find my own solutions to try and build it as close I could to his design, which is, really beautifull, hence the reason to copy it.

Good work everything fits perfectly.

As I said before: nicely done! I will have to build my own version in regular green which is close enough to the prototype since it's livery varied quite a bit. Some clever solutions you worked out--probably better than the original!

[Barduck]

nice to hear you find my solutions good

nice work, nice solution with the yellow wheel axles

Superb detail with the valves and the rails on the ends of the hopper. The curve on the ends has a nice look as well.

Very Nice Build.
