Hi Daniel,

I just checked both of the two Aristo 100T hoppers I have (the PRR version). With the couplers closed the measurements, in both cases, was 21 inches.

Hi Jon,

I ran out of siding room at 61 cars and 3 engines. I brought a 106 cars with custom coal loads in each with me.

Took me a month to do up the loads and install metal wheels and Kadees. The next show will be bigger and I will try

to get them all on, Thats what I was shooting for. :slight_smile:
