The above link provides some information on these neat little hoppers. I have collected several, since I have a strange fetish for VGN 4-bay hoppers and these are their shorter cousins.
I have plans to convert them into ballast hoppers using decals available from Bill Mosteler, who also has info about these cars here:

Not Prototypical, but neat little cars that could fill our a ballast car fleet until more detailed models become affordable or available.
