The only 55-ton aluminum CB&Q hopper I know of was 190854, a rebuild of one of their 55-ton hoppers with the side sheets in two parts.  This was not a USRA hopper.

Greetings!

Following is a link to Accurail models new products for January:

Scrolling down the page you will see they are offering a 55-Ton USRA ALUMINUM hopper car.

My question is did the 'Q have any of these cars in the period just prior to the merger? I'm familiar with the larger capacity 'silver sides' hoppers of that time but did they even make a 55T version in aluminum? And more importantly to my modeling, if so did the CB&Q have any of them as this model suggests?

Thanks in advance for any info on these cars.
