John,
An option you possibly did not consider in your haste to immediately sell your "mistake" hopper cars was to letter them for this little northern road called the Mighty Pennsylvania Railroad. THAT is how THIS car came to be in S Scale. The person the originated the SSA car - the Late John Craft and I had **many discussions** about what car to make. I wanted the H21a - which it almost was a few times. In the end since it was his project John chose the H39 because he said it hit the very end of steam (it did not at least on the PRR) but was around for Conrail etc which is true. The attached is the PRR's ONLY peaked end hopper car. Yup - only 1 car. Subsequent cars did not have peaked ends. As previously mentioned the PRR only had ONE offset hopper too. http://www.lanestrains.com/S_Scale_PRR_H27.htm Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy & PRSL in 1957 in S Scale since 1988 See my finished models at: <http://www.lanestrains.com/> http://www.lanestrains.com Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!
