Does anyone know where I could get plans for a Koppel ore car or something similar? I’d like to build a few of them for the Gn15 mining tram that serves the Cliffside Mine.
What does a Koppel ore car look like?
I have some ore car drawings I could scan and send.
Do they look like these?

Grandt line makes those in O scale - http://www.grandtline.com/model_railroad/rolling_stock_and_locos.htm -Brian
LGB used to make some for large scale calling them Gable Bottomed Hoppers…
Yeah, those are the kind I want to make. If necessary I’ll just guess-timate the dimensions and such, but I’d prefer to work from plans if possible.

It looks like the Grandt Line ones being used as 7/8n18 scale. -Brian
Those are my old LGB gable bottoms. They’re perfect for 7/8.
