Hi,
I'm looking for infos about HO operating hopper cars (for coal, gravel or sand). Most models that existed were relatively toyish, but it seems the old Ulrich 3-bay one was - for its time - quite decent. If anybody here has the said car, I'd be curious to see images of the mechanism. I'd like to experiment a little bit with some cars I had.
Well, to some point, I'd be curious if I could merge an Ulrich operating metal underframe with a newer and more detail hopper shell. Yes, I know it's crazy.
Best regards,
Matt
