Nice use of the Lego! I've heard of using them for the walls of a mold box, but never as the casting masters themselves!

However, when you mentioned adding hopper bottoms to the cars, I was imagining 8 on each pickle car, since there are 8 hatches and they're spaced pretty far apart. Are you thinking the end hatches would be disused due to lading weight? Or is it a more practical consideration like the hoppers don't fit next to the wheelsets?

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
