Here's a picture of this car in black:
Item Description:
This is an instance of my custom hopper car. This is my first custom model, going back to the Gary Louie Memorial Auction when I made my first one. It's an oldie but a goodie, with over 40 copies now sold to happy fans world wide.
Previously, this car was sold assembled, and was shipped carefully packaged. I have now created instructions for this set (and all MTW sets) and I can ship it assembled if you want, or disassembled, so you get the joy of putting it together. These instructions, while not TLC quality, are thorough and accurate, and will allow you to quickly and correctly assemble this set. You will receive a high quality printed or photocopied set of instructions, as well as all the required parts to create one car.
This item is essentially identical to Serious Collector lot A1289 (long since sold)
NOTE: All black is my most popular color and is usually in stock and ready to ship. Gray also available and in stock. Versions in other colors can be created, email me for more information. (Limited stock of red/black, yellow/black and blue now available)
This hopper can be seen on my Freight Cars page. A few views are shown below, but go there for more descriptive text.
I feel this car is in my top 5 "best work". It features:
A photo of an actual instance of the model, side view.
A photo of the bottom, and the number of 1x2's that the hopper will hold. 110 1x2s is A LOT for a model to hold!
An image from the instructions you get with the set. Note that the instructions are 20 pages long! The steps are very detailed, and you also get a partslist. (You do NOT get the letter bricks spelling out the copyright, those are decorative only)
For a review of this set, see this lugnet.reviews post by Paul Foster.
This item is also available in gray. Sorry, slightly higher price, due to the added expense of obtaining the required parts in gray.
Here's a picture in gray:
At least one seller likes it a lot better, and I admit the grey brings out the details better. However, we all know coal hoppers are black.
You get the same great instructions with this version that you do with MTW-1001-bk. These instructions, while not TLC quality, are thorough and accurate, and will allow you to quickly and correctly assemble this set. You will received a high quality printed or photocopied set of instructions, as well as all the required parts to create one car.
Other colors may be available depending on parts availability. (Limited stock of red/black, yellow/black and blue now available, contact me for details. I am considering developing one with a yellow end to simulate unit train service)
