Cement car rebuilds.

[e-paw]

Well Randy The Anna lines also has a class of converted coal hoppers much like you described. They make up a smaller part of the cement conveyor belt than the covered gons..

I started on the hopper chutes by shaving down a angled Lego brick and cutting off the little peg on the top, making a mold of it, and pouring several castings. The last set is still in the mold.    

I had to move some of the brake equipment in order to fit the chutes. The top car is stock and the bottom one has the castings installed.     The next step will be to finish installing the chutes and fabricate doors for them.
Here is a pic of the same car at it's present state.
