What is the closest hopper type available to match this rebuilt 12 panel H30B? Closest color match? Thanks Wolfie

I was expecting to see a picture.

Looks like a kit bash/scratch build project to me.

Here’s a link I found for more pics.

From what I’ve read, they were used to haul sand. I don’t know of any “close” hopper kits. You’ll have to search around and find a kit that can be a starting point.

Thanks for coming up with that link, Mike. The O.P.'s description and lack of photo threw me off.

I agree with maxman, as the Bowser car is very well done…

Wow, I guess that Bowser car would be a great start!
