40 hopper cars on the wall! 40 hopper cars!

I believe People have misread my post originally. I will not, i repeat, NOT, be building 40 cars. I am, instead, building 23 cars. In 1940, the EBT was down to 23 of these cars.

Now then, with that said, time for comments.

P5se, thank you for that large block of information. It will prove very helpful.

I don't believe reference photos for this were ever posted. I will have to post some up, because they are somewhat unique. They were built by the H&C in their own facilities, then purchased second-hand by EBT.
