Undecorated USRA 55-Ton Hopper Kit

In addition to it's well-known steam locos, the United States Railroad Administration (USRA) developed several standardized freight car plans to ease critical car shortages during WWI. Hoppers such as this did yeoman service during the war and for decades after, moving coal, stone and other bulk materials.

"great fun."
victorleepatterson
This was the first time that I had the courage to buy two kits to be customized. This one is completely undecorated. It is black plastic. I spray painted it blue with a spray can and the results were excellent. I then added dry transfer decals to make my customized road name. The large side panels on this car allowed me to use large letters, which look great. I bought the decals, as well as the data decals, from Hobbylinc. This is fun for someone who is ready for the additional challenge.
