Parts to make an Aristocraft 2-Bay covered hopper look a bit more modern.
To do what I did, you will need:
Aristo-Craft 2-Bay Hopper (duh)
1/8" drill bit and 1/8" polystyrene rod (to plug holes)
3/32" drill bit to relocate hatches
Hobby knife with a chisel blade (to pop off the rivets and remove grab irons)
Putty and sandpaper
18 Ga wire (new grab irons)
NOTE: I PUT MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO DRAWING PARTS AND SHARE FILES FOR FELLOW MODEL TRAIN HOBBYISTS TO PRINT FOR THEMSELVES AND SHARE WITH FRIENDS. PLEASE DO NOT SEEK PROFIT FROM MY DESIGNS. FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO PRINT THIS, KNOW THAT THE MATERIAL COST TO PRINT ALL THE PARTS NEEDED IS ABOUT 1 DOLLAR.
NOTE: MY NEWEST SHARED DESIGNS ARE ON PRINTABLES
