Hello Dennis;

Those were probably by Iron Rail Models, who have re-issued the Ace hopper 
conversions. Those are probably the best of the Ace conversions for scale use - 
I prefer to do my own bolsters to convert flat cars and gondolas as I feel the 
Ace conversions for those cars make them sit too high.

As Jace says, the AF tank car with the Ace conversion has a few issues of 
proportion. I have some intentions of converting AF tanks into UTLX cars but 
haven't actually done one yet, and the process is likely to be somewhat 
involved.
