    I think the real problem is that Atlas says 511 and 527 are Heritage II and 546 is Premium Heritage... However, they are really the same scheme in their models... You pics are of real prototypes that DO have the different paint schemes...... Thanks again!

    Csx 2556

ALso Wonder Bread is also on the spur and they get a LOT of Hoppers. There are 5-8 other businesses on the spur that get railroad cars as well. I...
