McKean Models 12 panel hopper

[ICG/SOU]

I found two of these at a local shop, undecorated, that I'd like to put some coal loads into, but can't find anything for them at Walthers. From what I can tell, they are Greenville 100tn 3-bay hoppers, 12 panels, so they're longer than the earlier 70tn hoppers I'm used to.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Trey,

Motrak Models might have a load for them, if he doesnt, im sure he could make some for you. The guy who runs it is very nice, and his name is Jeff. Here is a link to his ebay store:

his email is: motrakmodels@verizon.net

Thanks, Josh.

Edit: I found that he does loads for 12 panel Bowswer/Stewart hoppers, and was able to compare one I had to the McKean. The dimensions are roughly the same (McKean's bulkheads and side panels are thicker), so a little trimming would be necessary.

I'll have to get some loads from him. They look pretty nice.

No problem Trey, Jeff's loads are awesome and they look great. I have a ton of his loads, and i just ordered 30 E&C Shops Coalporter loads, 10 Bowser 100-Ton Hopper loads, and 6 Walthers Bethlehem 4000 Cubic foot Hopper Loads
