Default Ralston 20 Ton Air Dump Ore Car

Hi All!

Can anybody direct me to where I might find drawings of this interesting car? I'd like to build at least a brace of 'em in HO scale for my railroad, but I'm coming up dry for drawings.

There Are a few pics online, but not enough to produce a credible drawing from.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

From Ralston's website (so I guess you've got it) - can't remember where, but there was something like this commercially at one time...the pic can be enlarged on Ralston's site, showing some more detail -but no other views. It's not listed as an "Ore Car", but guess could have been so employed.

Default Rio Grand Models

Rio Grand(e) Models has one and you know, I plain forgot about it.

It actually looks pretty good, too.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers!
