Got an old hopper? How about this one!

Hey Guys!

Just took some pics of this ballast hopper at the Orangeville Brampton station in Orangeville. It's an old CP car with converted trucks. I've GOTTA build this one!

Cheers!

Interesting Doug. That hopper was sitting on one of the unused industrial sidings in Orangeville for the longest time, me and a buddy spotted it and checked it out. It's still (or was) half-full of ballast.

Hi Dan!

Its funny that there has been no attempt to re-stencil it isn't it. I wonder if its just a write off that they are moving.

Probably just an old car CP let them have when they transferred ownership of the line.

Yeah, Must be Dan. Probably not the only old car lurking around there!
