Hopper peaked ends kit

[NW Modeling List]

IIRC these were offered in the old Model Die Casting (MDC)/Roundhouse line;
I have some of their old 3-bay hoppers that were stenciled for N&W as Class
H-2a; included with the kits was a sprue that had heap shields (a/k/a
peaked ends) that were glued to the flat ends of the hopper.
MDC/Roundhouse was bought by Athearn; a quick search of the Athearn web
site did not list these parts.

The two-bay hopper produced by Stewart, now Bowser, had the heap shields
cast as part of the model, i.e., not an add on part.

I'm not aware of any other source for these parts.
