Re: (erielack) Atlas HO Erie Hart Ballast hoppers

["Brian J Carlson" <brian_@_net.bluemoon.net>]

Did they fix the huge space by the bolster? See Prototype Railroad Modeling
Vol 1 for how to fix the space, if they didn't fix the space? also the Erie
cars were the earlier 2519 CU FT  capacity cars built in 1930.  They
differed slightly from the later 2505 CU FT represented by the Atlas model.
However, most differences are easily overlooked by most modelers.For
additional prototype information refer to RPC 3.

Atlas got the lettering right, but the rivet pattern doesn't match the
prototype for the vertical reinforcements on the side of the car. Still,
it's really nice looking, with a neat set of interior bracing, and it's very
free rolling. It's also well weighted, so it's a good candidate for running
as an empty car.
