I was cleaning out my model railroad equipment drawers and came across this pair of cars I made 2-3 years ago before I was really serious in the hobby. They were Athearn wood chip hoppers I removed the lettering from and added a Microscale CSX decal set to and made some quick Coke Express Hoppers. Not as long as the prototype, but I feel that, even now, theyre still an acceptable stand in without kitbashing a couple hoppers to make one coke hopper. And the woodchip load, when painted black, even looks like coke!   |

Hey, I think they look nice - a train with 5 or 6 of those would look great rolling by.
Good job!

Thanks for the comments guys! I want to find some "Coke Express" decals, just the Coke Express lettering though. The Microscale sets would get expensive!
