Rail Road Progress hopper kits

[NW Modeling List]

ECW kits were also flat.

As I remember,the RRP kits were "flat" kits and had nothing to do with the later ECW kits. Don't know if they did, but RRP could have done an H10 just as easily as the others, since they were mostly flat sheets of styrene. I have built "sorta" H10's by cutting down the old Life Like 100 ton hopper. The hoppers are not as deep as they should be, but everything else looks lie an H10.

Jim,

 

AFAIK, ECW never produced a N&W H10, only the H2/2a/3 that you mentioned.  I do not know if RRP ever produced the H10.

I recently saw a 1987 RMC ad for Rail Road Progress listing the H2/2a/3 which was also marketed by Eastern Car works.  Did RRP become ECW?  I know ECW has been out of business a long time and the molds went into hiding.  Parts from those molds would not be accepted in today’s RTR, super-detailed world but I would like to find a few of the H10 kits, catalog number “36H”.

 

Was the H10 ever produced?  If so, does anyone on this list have 1 or more to part with?  Trains shows and ebay are the only other options but if the car was never produced, no need to spend time hunting.  I have 3 H2/2a/3 kits and they will require some work to make into decent kits (I’ll build all as H3) but should turn into something worth running once wire grabs, new steps and missing rivets are added.
