Hi guys, i finally got a chance to snap some pics of my new SP AC6000 and my 14 Roundhouse CSDU/CSDPU 5-BAY RAPID DISCHARGE Hoppers. The hoppers required ALOT of work, and i spent about $60 to fix them and make them work right, this was ontop of the $80 i paid for the set of 14 LOL. I had to drill out the holes in the metal frames, tap them with a 2-56 tap, screw some new screws in to mount the trucks and couplers, and put lock tight in the screws to keep them from turning. Good only Roundhouse tooling i guess.... Have had a problem with every single roundhouse kit i have ever built, yet i keep buying them 35

Anyways, here are a few pics that i just snapped off

Nice. And the Gold Medal building made an excellent backdrop.
