Re: [CBQ] C&S Hoppers

["Nelson Moyer" <npmoyer@hotmail.com>]

The problem with the HT-10C is that they were built in 1960, so they were 
delivered in Chinese Red. The HT-10 and HT-10A were built in 1953 or before, so 
they are of more interest to transition era modelers. You have to know your 
market.

A C&S car is always a welcome addition as were the FW&D covered hoppers.  
However, at least in my book, Chinese Red paint dates the equipment to the 
latter days.  I run steam so you wouldn't see anything Chinese Red behind some 
FW&D or C&S steam (with a few notable exceptions).  They're nice cars and if 
modeled later years I'd snag a few but not this time.
