Late HL Hoppers

[NW Modeling List]

For a proposal.  In the day, many photos were altered to show what something would look like after a modification was completed.  These were used as part of the proposal package for management approval.  Some proposals were rejected, and there was never a car like the one in the altered photo.

  Out of curiosity, what would be the purpose or reason someone would alter the car/photo?  (Other than screwing up us modelers 60+ years later!)

    Quite interesting! They restenciled/repainted a H9... note the Norfolk N stencil on both cars... the fuax HL is crooked. Both cars have the same repack date and location, but the paint date was changed from Roanoke to Portsmouth...

    Did anybody notice in the side views that the B end is on one side of the picture and in the other picture on the other side?
