List,
I need some help concerning the construction of the EL 21300 - 21349 hoppers.
100 ton, 2 bay Pullman Standard hoppers built in 1966
The sides are straight and the ends are straight, both to the bottom of the
car.
The diagrams show the angle of the slop sheets for the two bays.
My question is :
Is the floor, bottom of the car flat? With the two bays coming out of it,
or is it sort of hollow inside? Which means you could see the entire bay and
the slop sheets, etc?
Why are you asking? I'm building two of them in HO.
