Lou,
Here is a link to an article Bruce Chandler wrote about posting pictures. “My Files” here will give you some space for pictures.

TADA!
Sa-weet!! (Pun intended.)
Welcome Lou.
I like the detail of/around the lids. Is that all stock? Do they open?
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
Standard Aristocraft covered hopper. The hatches are screwed down. I’ve done one for the Raritan River sand car that I left off those lift bars.
Lou’s in!
Lou… great looking hopper… nice job…
OK, I’m resurrecting this. I’ve been too busy with family things to work on the railroad, but this was done a short while ago. I have a wake to go to today and a Grandson due next week. I did this covered hopper, and can’t decide if I want to sell it. I have not had much success customizing and selling. I made these signs from the Goody’s boxes to look like steel plate welded to the sides. Black decals on the laser printer.

That’s a lot of headache powder!
Some days I need more than others.
Remember when John Astin played “Buddy”, Harry Stone’s father on “Night Court”? I frequently use his line - “I’m much better now.”
here’s a few shots of some hoppers…
A great line-up Andy
The “Rooster Line” rides again
That KVR hopper sure looks sharp!

I also see a possible Brandt roadrailer in the future?
Very nice work. Covered hoppers are so…uh…covered?
