The P&WV Hi-Line

[PWVJer]

Well a bit more good news, Alternate Standard Hoppers(HO scale)
from Intermountain Railways* may arrive early Sept 2014.

Hope they will use the more correct color and
graphics. Also a nice MTR & NKP re-shopped version is
in this new release batch as well.

Still no word on N-Sale stuff.
The HO-scale 70-ton covered hoppers are still
in the (TBD) To Be Decided/Delayed? Suggestion, the car numbers
1900-1909 and P.433 & P.434 with wood running board, might
be a better match for their(IM's) standard/basic Cov. Hopper in current production.

BTW,
...seen the new Intermountain cars, and they're really nice, although a bit pricey.
They are available with several different optional ends, and it appears that Intermountain is releasing the ready-to-run
cars with ends that are correct for each particular prototype railroad.

The W&LE, P&WV, and some of the NKP cars may present a bit of a problem for nit-pickers,
although I haven't actually seen those cars and measured them. The prototype W&LE and P&WV (plus some NKP) cars were 5" taller
than most of the cars built for other lines. This is just enough to be noticeable IF YOU LOOK FOR IT.
Whether that difference is important enough to you is a question you can answer for yourself.
It might be possible to get the right look by placing a 1/16" shim washer between the truck and bolster.
