Cement car rebuilds.
#13
Actually for most of the cars, the round hatches are what I want. I did have some ideas for experimenting, liek using the roof from a covered hopper kit and seeing if it fit on an open hopper, although even if it works it seems sort of silly to waste all the covered hopper kits just to get a roof. Foreign road ones are easy, I already have a set of WM, and a couple of B&O kits, and the LNE one pictured. Reading was like a cheap Dutchman (PA Dutch), they just had roof panels made and converted the open cars instead of having new cars built.
