Mark;
Sugar would also be shipped in the Airslide Covered hoppers. The pressure aid covered hoppers have gradually replaced the Airslides in the modern era, although I still see plenty of the Airslides around.
One reason that I picked a candy or confection plant for my layout was to be able to use my fleet of Airslides along with the corn syrup tank cars. Must say that I'm not going to go to the extent you are with removing some of the molded on details on mine though.
Hope this helps.
