A quick post to show off some of the works in progress. Took a couple of snapshots of some of the woodchip hoppers I am working on this evening. Decided I would share a few of them.
The lead car in the number series is road number 3383 so numbered for my oldest daughter as this is the day of her entry into the world.
Road number 3841 is modeled after a car I happened to find a photo of.

I found a few other of photos of other chip hoppers out in cyberspace that I will more closely detail and model to the prototype.
I started these cars while on deployment in Iraq last fall. I am home now in Rincon and am in the process of finishing up the decals and the detail bits so that I may place them into revenue service. I have 8 cars painted and 7 cars decaled.
There are another 19 Front Range and Branchline 40' boxcars awaiting conversion into woodchip hoppers, 10 of which are well along in the conversion and 9 that are still in the boxes
All for now,
Mike
