Tghere are variations on the long side grabs that I've modeled. I spotted the
photos in an old RMJ. Apparently C&S had exact matches for the Tichy car & the
version I just mentioned. I'll bring at least one to Dubuque. My 5 cars were
lettered with Champ & Hamsmith decals.

Subject: RE: [CBQ] HO-Yesteryear 36' Twin Hopper C&S/CB&Q-Accurate Car?
It is accurate. My understanding is that it is a Tichy USRA hopper,
decorated and assembled by Intermountain. The C&S used them primarily to carry
iron ore between Wyoming mines and the smelter in the Pueblo area. I don't
know to what extent they might have made it off line to the Q.
Accurail makes the same car (same number, too).
