    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
