Since Mikey is applying a little pressure here I finished two more hoppers.
Both of these needed their plastic wheels replaced with metal wheels.
First is a custom lettered NYC 2-bay offset hopper. This car started as a Bev-Bel/Athearn Red oxide hopper.
Next is a K&D Hobbies/Athearn 2-bay offset hopper in Lehigh & New England Billboard scheme:
I have also begun painting more metal wheels. Right now I have enough wheels to do six hoppers. That will leave me two hoppers short for the ones that need wheels. I also have two hoppers sitting on the bench that need weights painted, additional weight added, and coal loads made. I don’t know if I will get them finished by the fifteen.
