George and I were talking about the thread yesterday and he was telling me how he's really interested to see all the great layouts the hopper car travels too!  He's pleased to see so many people are having a good time setting up and hosting the hopper car.  I must say I agree also.  It's really a lot of fun watching to see what story lines and pictures come out of this thread.  Thanks to John S. and Tom L. for having great ideas like this to involve the modeling community in sharing a common interest and thanks to George S. for sharing and participating.   Thanx Thom...

Nice job Tom presenting the F&SM hopper car. By the way, we found Jose. He was hitching a ride with Raymo near the coaling tower. Not sure where they might be heading.

Butty Bill,

Thanks, much appreciated. Again, thank you and Kris for hosting the F&SM hopper.

I'm glad you saw Jose but the fact Raymo picked up Jose really gives me another concern.

Donato,

Thanks for stopping by and following the hopper. The great thing about cheap stories are the fact they are cheap. Meaning of course they are free and cost nary a cent.

I'm not on the list yet, but would sure like to be.  The F&SM hopper would look great at many places on my layout, which is known as the Winona & Southwestern Ry Co.  Looking forward to being put on the list and receiving the hopper whenever it gets here.
