This is one of six hoppers found in service running ballast to be unloaded at a pit used by the maintenance-of-way forces doing spot work along the Seaboard Central. Tim Garland modified the car with scale Kadee #158 couplers and code 88 metal wheels. He added safety stripe decals and weathered the car with Testors Dullcote and artists oils, along with Pan Pastels. Tim used techniques he learned from watching Mike Confalone’s weathering series.
