Hey Guys, would you consider making this? http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2996984 It's an aggregate hopper. Most of them I believe are still in Conrail paint. Thanks

Well, if you can find a set of plans for these I would gladly try it. I've been modeling buildings and other scenery items wanting to try a piece of rolling stock and this looks as if it would be a good start.
Thanks

You've been doing a great job on the buildings so far, Mike.... just my 2 cents worth, this would be a great starter car for you. I've been doing rolling stock for a bit now and I've stuck to gondolas & hoppers because they are nice and square. Not a lot of really complicated angles and hardly any curved surfaces. Honestly, a lot of the buildings you've done look more complicated than this car! I'll be looking forward to it!

What's killing me now is pipes... I have some cool assets that are almost done but I can't seem to move past pipes. I'll eventually work it out, but that's holding me back now...
Thanks,
Mike

Actually, Ryan and I have one of these almost finished!
I started a tank car loading rack and the pipes gave me an absolute migraine every time I started working on it. Never did finish it.
Just use a line for pipes. Check the "Display Mesh" box --- set the sides to about 8 and the thickness to around .09 or so, depending on what size pipe you need. You can then just draw the shape you need.
There are other ways to make pipes but I use this often.
Cheers,
Dave
