Saginaw Valley Hopper
Saginaw Valley Hopper
Hi guys, anyone have a nice picture or two of the ex-GM&O SGVY hopper cars? I'm modeling them and would appreciate your assistance. Thank you.

I believe they are storing a bunch of these on the siding by the Wallace Stone Pit near Bay Port.

Re: Saginaw Valley Hopper
Here are my pictures of some of them. I'm sure I have more that I have never uploaded if you need some more.

I know it's an overused word but those are "perfect" . Thank you! I'm going to have fun weathering to make my nice plastic models look like beaten old ratty cars .

Re: Saginaw Valley Hopper
That looks KILLER. Can't be many cars outside of museums with GM&O lettering still visible on them. What were these used for, sugar beets?David Collins wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 12:59 pmHere's a picture I found on rrpicturearchives.net, I haven't been around long enough to see one of these
