Here are a couple car that did a while back. The BN hopper had a few modifications done to it. The end plates on the bolsters where cut out of sheet styrene, hatch where changed out and/or repainted, the piece that runs across the top of the ribs was added and the ACI tag and bracket was added.

Great looking cars, Eric! Nice touch adding the bolster end plates. What models did you start with on these?
Growing up in Great Falls, Montana I sure saw a TON of those hoppers!

Eric- Nice job! Who made the Frisco car? Did you paint and letter it?
I want one like it!

Thanks for the comments.
The hopper is from Intermountain.
The box car was a blue box Athearn factory painted. The only paint and decaling I did was the patching and updating of the data and lube plate.
On both cars I could not find pictures of the exact car number so I took patching and weathering features that I liked from other similar cars, even the graffiti on the BN hopper is copied from a different BN hopper.
