dibber25 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 These Walthers 41ft ballast cars are as close as I can find to the ballast cars being used by VIA Rail on their work trains. I'm wondering what the story is here? I've been chasing a couple of three-packs of these for weeks now. I guess its a newish item, limited runs, and now all sold through? Ironically, in view of the discussions about Hornby and the 2-BIL, I found stock of the Walthers ballast cars shown on the Signalbox (Modelzone) website yesterday. I ordered two packs. Today I have a refund and a phone call to say they are out of stock and shouldn't be on the website. Anyone got any ideas where I might find them? I'd prefer a 'brown' colour scheme as it will be easier to repaint but at this point any colour at all would do. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor quinn Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hi Chris If you thinking of the outside post 2 bay hoppers with a square looking discharge door, they've been made for quite a few years including CP & CN liveries. They show up on eBay from time to time. The other Canadainasable ballast hopper I can think of is the Atlas Hart type with offset sides which is pretty similar to some CP had.
