One of the track planning idea books I purchased recently has a nice article on a PRR layout inspired by Horseshoe Curve. The layout is too big for my space, but I did like a couple of the photos and plan to try and create a train similiar to one of the shots. It's got mostly PRR hoppers (I've got that covered with my Bowser 12 pack) but one of the first cars is a B&O hopper with the B&O lettering being really large, taking up most of the cars.
Upon seeing the photo, I recalled seeing cars like that as a kid, at least on occasion.
Now I'm wondering where to get one in HO? I'd prefer it to be a coal hopper, from the 1940's or early 50's era, since I'm doing the late steam period. Any ideas on where to find one?
