They were introduced in 1956/57, but over the years got repainted/reweighed/refurbished, Koos, so by the time of the early eighties which I am modelling, it was truly the case that "no two were the same". I really like the chance to use the yellow and red decals too. The Cotton Belt had some too, and they were inter-mingled with the SP ones, so I'll do one or two of them as well (when I can force myself to engage with them again...).torikoos wrote:They are lovely models. Not knowing much about these hoppers, in what time period were these in service? Steam/diesel transition, or much later still?
