If you want to build some of the correct 4600 cars , the Sept 1999 RMC and July 1997 RMC articles will give you drawings and data and a few pointers for detailing . The "Q" had both versions of the 4600 cu ft car. The BB you mentioned has end and side views of both versions . Another dandy source of info on covered hoppers is the Railmodel Journal freight car models - Vol. III - it details all kinds of covered hoppers - it was published in 1995 , but you might still find a copy at a flea market. Anyway , hope this helps, Wade Griffis > I notice that Intermountain is gong to release CBQ markings for their ACF4650 > CuFt hopper.
