These were the only three-bay hoppers owned by the C&S.  The number series followed the 18000-18299 series of twin hoppers built in 1915 and preceded the 21000-21019 series of mill gondolas built in 1937.
They make a striking addition to any C&S, CB&Q or FtW&D consist.  Look at our FtW&D (Intermountain) covered hoppers for a great combination.
This is our first run using Broadway Limited Imports (https://broadway-limited.com/), and we are thrilled with the results.  The care taken in assembly and prototype fidelity is excellent.
The Amarillo Railroad Museum is cooperating with the Q-Connection (https://www.qconnection.biz/) for the second time in a custom car run to offer 20 each of three numbers of the C&S hoppers, and we in turn offer 20 each of  three numbers of their CB&Q HT-10 version of the cars (170018, 170192, and 170249) built in 1948-1949, in mineral red with white lettering and solid bearings.  In addition, the Q built ten of this type of hopper in 1949 as an experiment with roller bearings and painted them orange and black.  The Q-Connection offers two road numbers 170494 and 170499 of these “experiments.”  It could be that these ten cars lead to the C&S using Timken roller bearings in the 1961 hoppers we offer.
