Hi all -- Bill Fraley said his club that produced the car still has a bunch and they had considered making it the convention car for this year.
I like the blog idea, but can use an address to get there. I have several of the Spiral Hill cars since the SLE&P interchanges cars with all kinds of railroads (the big plus of being a fictional railroad), and being a coal hauler, the more hoppers the merrier! Bill Winans --------------------------------- Great idea. Are decorated hoppers or decals available from someone? If any of the hobby dealers attending the Amherst show at Springfield have something in their inventory, I could pick it up at the show. Or if anyone on the list who is attending the show has something they could bring me, that would work too. Jim Martin ------------------------------------ Roy, You have just come up with a great idea! I bought one of the hoppers and it has remained on my display shelf doing little good. Here's the idea--everyone who owns one (and we all should!) put the car on the nice part of your layout and do an interesting shot of it...then submit it to the blog at MRH. I don't think there are any or many requirements to adding your photo, we could semi-flood the pages with shots of Spiral Hill hoppers without going through some editorial selection process! This could be some of the best S publicity we've seen in a long time and it's pretty much free, not to mention honoring Frank!

I just received a Spiral Hill hopper (available on Ebay) and thought I'd honor Frank with some pictures on MRH at http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/11029#comment-86180 Roy Hoffman ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
