Hi guys, anyone have a nice picture or two of the ex-GM&O SGVY hopper cars? I'm modeling them and would appreciate your assistance. Thank you.

I believe they are storing a bunch of these on the siding by the Wallace Stone Pit near Bay Port.

I know it's an overused word but those are "perfect" :) . Thank you! I'm going to have fun weathering to make my nice plastic models look like beaten old ratty cars 8) .

That looks KILLER. Can't be many cars outside of museums with GM&O lettering still visible on them. What were these used for, sugar beets?
