I have a number of chinese red hopper cars and black hopper cars, but not very many mineral red CB&Q hopper cars. I would like to add some more HO scale steam era hoppers to pull behind my 2-10-2, but there doesn't seem to be much available anymore. I do have some old Athearn 55 ton 2 bay composite side cars, several Walthers HT-3 55 ton 2 bay cars, as well as some Roundhouse 70 ton 3 bay cars in the mineral red paint scheme. I see that Walthers has the HT-3 2 bay cars on sale right now, but they have 9 ribs instead of the correct 7 ribs. Per the Athearn website, the old Athearn and Roundhouse cars are no longer available. Does anyone have any suggestions as to another source of HO scale CB&Q hopper cars for this era? Or are the Walthers 2 bay ribbed cars the only reasonably close option available? Maybe this is a market opportunity for Q Connection or 5th Ave. Car Shops (hint, hint).
