class HC-11 covered hoppers

[NW Mailing List]

There are a few minor differences, but overall, it is not bad. I have seen models where the modeler started with the Roundhouse car and modified it to more closely resemble the Virginian car, so it is probably the best starting point you will find. But, depending on how picky you are, you might be happy with it "as is." It's your call.

Thanks again,

These 70 cars (71900-71969) were built at Princeton, and are a modification of the Virginian H14 design (N&W class H34) They were used for "Coal Char" loading until 1969, when 64 of them had the roofs removed to equip them for wood chip service and the remaining 6 were retired in the early 1980's.

At first glance, these look like regular H-11 hoppers with extended height sides and a lid.   The built date appears to be 1961.

Does anyone have the actual diagrams or dimensions of this car?  What was their intended service?

Thanks in advance,
