Southern 100T Extended Height Cement Hopper Bash

[bobby pitts]

This model, like the real car, started out as a 70T hopper. Southern's customers ask for larger loads of cement, so they converted the 70T cars to 100T. They did this by extended the top, adding braces and truck mounted brakes on 100T trucks.
I used two Bowser cars to build the extended top and brass shapes for the ends. Thanks for looking.

That unpainted end shot really shows off the level of detail and worksmanship that goes into your models Bobby.
