Ken, Just like the SAL's, the X-29's, the MILW ribbed, and the B&O wagontops, Spiral Hill hoppers travel all over the country reminding us of one of the most famous S layouts ever.
Back in the circuit letter dayz exchanging private road lettered' hoppers was fairly common. I don't know why they used hoppers--- perhaps they were easy to letter and fairly cheap? I wonder who might have a bunch of them--it would be good for historical purposes.
