BN 100 ton Coal Hoppers -- in HO

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I am reminded by “blondjocktx’s” posting that I really would like to find another 10 or 12 of the old style (black with the white BN) coal hoppers. Roundhouse used to make them.
Does anyone know of a source ?[:)][:)]

Greetings,

Did Roundhouse stop making them?

I would try EBAY or the internet.

I thought my local hobby store still had some on my last visit.

I will have to double check.

Ebay would definatly be the way to go if you cant find them. But make suer you dont find crap on EBAY. I ve bought a few things off there and about 25% of the things ive bought are in worse shape than the owner says

i’ve bought 7 things off of ebay so far. and i’ve received 5 things. all in great condition. Rock Island GP7 P2K- awesome. brand new in the box never been opened. CB&Q GP7 P2K- awesome. same as other loco. 2 GN twin hoppers- great condition. metal wheels, Kadee #5’s. GN composite boxcar- great condition. metal wheels, and kadee #5’s. then i have 2 Roundhouse kits coming. a GN boxcar and a Golden West boxcar.

ebay would probably be the best bet. i’m trying to find GN hoppers or CB&Q hoppers.

I buy from EBay but don’t buy from anyone with less than a 98% feedback rate. Have had no problems. :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone.

I think I’ll follow “warrenjbell” 's suggestion – Bowser’s # 55130 is a good match.

I did explore Roundhouse’s site at “http://www.mdcroundhouse.com” (if anyone’s interested) without success.
