I've mentioned this new offering before, but I thought I'd post it again.  They 
are very nice cars.

The number series followed the 18000-18299 series of twin hoppers built in 1915 
and preceded the 21000-21019 series of mill gondolas built in 1937. They make a 
striking addition to any C&S, CB&Q or FtW&D consist.  Look at our FtW&D 
(Intermountain) covered hoppers for a great combination.
This is our first run using Broadway Limited Imports 
(https://broadway-limited.com/), and we are thrilled with the results.  The 
care taken in assembly and prototype fidelity is excellent.
The Amarillo Railroad Museum is cooperating with the Q-Connection 
(www.qconnection.biz/) for the second time in a custom car run to offer 20 each 
of three numbers of the C&S hoppers, and we in turn offer 20 each of three 
numbers of their CB&Q HT-10 version of the cars (170018, 170192, and 170249) 
built in 1948-1949, in mineral red with white lettering and solid bearings.  In 
addition, the Q built ten of this type of hopper in 1949 as an experiment with 
roller bearings and painted them orange and black.  The Q-Connection offers two 
road numbers 170494 and 170499 of these “experiments.”  It could be that these 
ten cars lead to the C&S using Timken roller bearings in the 1961 hoppers we 
offer.
We also have a limited number of Fort Woth & Denver covered hoppers, MKT 
mechanical reefers and ART ice reefers for sale. All sales benefit our museum.
