Subject: RE: (erielack) Erie 70 ton ARA hoppers by Broadway Limited?

Brian Carlson wrote "I finally had more time to look into these hoppers.
These were an AMC car built in 1930. The Erie and C&O had similar cars...Now
for the Broadway Model. The pre-production samples on the BLI site match the
details of the B&M, MP, Milwaukee and MKT cars ...the differences in the
model and the Erie cars include trucks, doubler plates and ladders. It's
possible the end taper is wrong too....The Erie cars had an IL of 41'-2 7/8"
and an side height if 10'-3 3/8" The BM and MILW cars were 40'-5" and
10'-8: respectively. Brian J. Carlson, P.E. Cheektowaga NY"

Dear Brian and List:
I picked up these hopper cars from my dealer today. I am not a rivet
counter, but these look better than the Athearn 4-bay for out of the box RTR
details. They come with coal loads and will look good behind my Erie BLI
N-2's to haul in an earlier era-or maybe an FT.
For car number 39333 (and most all 8):
Build date: 8-1930
PNTD (painted?): 10-15-1953
CD 1-1955
No inside height or length, but you can see the cubic foot (2645) in the
attached scan.
I have attached other photos of the ladders, end taper, etc.
