41' Ballast Hopper vs. Aggregate hopper

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

The car that you are talking about is Greenville's 100 ton two bay aggregate 
hopper, which is different than the what the original inquiry was about. 
Walthers has produced the Greenville 100 ton two bay car, in NS and Southern 
lettering. This Greenville car is used in sand and stone (aggregate) 
service. The green N&W car, photo previously posted shown in NS MOW orange, 
is strictly used in MOW ballast service. The ex-Southern Greenville 100T 2 
bays are used in general MOW (orange) service and commercial (Sou freight 
car brown and black) service.

The former Southern cars have made it into several schemes. Sou in MOW 
Orange w/ large block lettering, Sou in Sou Freight Car Brown w/ large block 
lettering (two types of font), Sou in black w/ Claytor font (painted post 
merger), Sou in Sou Freight Car Brown w/ Claytor font (painted post merger), 
and lastly NS in Sou Freight Car Brown w/ Sou and NS reporting marks. Note 
that Southern did assign these cars to the Central of Georgia, CNO&TP and 
AGS.

Built in early 1989, NS/NW recieved an order of 100 cars numbered 
#150000-150099, in mineral red paint, NS speed lettering and NW reporting 
marks.
