Photos of 85000 attached. R Dukarm

A fried asked if I had any prototype photos of the Lackawanna 2-Bay Offset
ACF Hoppers built in 1940. With almost 1,500 purchased by the railroad, I
have never seen a prototype photo of one, though the friend mentioned that
there is model painted for Lackawanna and correctly numbered in the 85,000
series with billboard lettering (I don't know the manufacturer). This
information is from the DL&W 1954-58 freight car rooster:



62 HM Hopper, stl 2-bay 85000 85499 445
429 34' 0" #N/A #N/A 2151 100,000 04-40 1940
Blt by ACF, offset side, Sym-Gould trucks, Ajax B/W

62 HM Hopper, stl 2-bay " "
50 65 34' 0" #N/A #N/A 1850 100,000
04-40 1940 Blt by ACF, offset side, Sym-Gould trucks,
Ajax B/W, these cars for limestone service only

63 HM Hopper, stl 2-bay 85500 86499 996
957 34' 4" #N/A #N/A 2221 100,000 11/46-6/47
1946 Blt by BS & ACF, mostly welded, PSF or Sym-Gould trucks, AB
brakes, Universal B/W - Note channel end rib



Does anyone have a photo of these cars and know if there is an accurate
model available?



Thanks.
