I saw a string of them last week on the Joint Line, and a bunch of them at the Coors Refinery on the 4th of July. (We went to Golden Gate Park for the holiday...). If I had time, I'd love to try them, I've made a couple of tank cars, so it wouldn't be too difficult, but I've been trying to finish a flat car for a month now. (All it needs is couplers...

Just Curious.

Is anyone out there going to do or is doing the unique tank cars Coors uses to transport raw malt mix from golden to the eastern breweries - Theres a good article in this months trains Mag.

I was on my way to my nephew's baseball game when I saw a whole string of these yesterday morning, heading south through Littleton, Colorado as part of a BNSF mixed freight. There were also CORX grain hoppers as well. I assume these carry barley malt or perhaps hops. I may paint one up, there's nothing particularly fancy about them.
