[CBQ] ExactRail coal hoppers

["Micheal Farley" <mfarley@midco.net>]

I received my new ExactRail Bethlehem 3483 hoppers this week, and overall they are very nice cars. These cars are missing a key visible element: the extra piece of “angle” that sits atop the side of the car in all four corners. Does anyone have measurements for this piece, so I can add it to my models? I thought about measuring it off the Walthers version, but I’d like a more accurate piece if someone has the information.

 

The models are over an ounce too light, and there’s little area to add weight without being visible, which is disappointing. I also found several of my three-piece trucks out of alignment requiring disassembly to correct.
