HO Layout Suggestions

[NW Modeling List]

I have the scale drawings from Mainline Modeler and have scaled them  
for HO.  I am pretty good making molds and such, so the cost of a few  
hoppers for parts and as a starting point isn't that big of a deal for  
me.  The decals for the 1934-1938 time frame might be a bigger  
problem.  If I decide to cast a fleet of them I'll do an article for  
the Arrow.  I want about 30 of them to mix in with Athern 2 bay  
hoppers and the HP's, of which I will only make about 10 more.  I have  
another group of 2 bay hoppers that I like better, but I can't  
remember the manufacturer.  I also did 4 semi-HU's starting with  
Athern 4 bay's but I wasn't really happy with them.

a H3 (Yes, you need another hopper) I did one semi-scratch, using  
slope sheets and hoppers from a Bachmann quad (Athearn would be a  
better starting point). This was before the ECW or Broadway H3/H2a  
were available. One of them might give you more to start with, but you  
would still need that extra hopper.    Jim Nichols

  The glaring omission is the HU and HUa hoppers which Lifelike  
dropped the ball on.
