The open hopper looks close to the H43 and subclasses. I 'd like to suggest a copy of the PC Color Guide by Morning Sun Books. Any decent hobby shop and all mail order dealers can get it for you.

Subject: PC: getting ready to paint..need some info
hi group!
just accuired 20 90 ton atlas hoppers is n scale originally in CR paint. i happily stripped all 20 and i have painted them in PC black. i would like to know what number series the 90 ton hoppers were in. coulnd't pass up the price...new cars for free. i also purchased 26 intermountain ACF 4650 cu ft 3 bay hoppers off ebay. they are now NYC and WM but will soon meet their fate in the stripper too. i need to find a pic on the net of one to go by for painting and a number series if anyone has these handy. the cars were 9.99 each and it seems intermountain had a blow out sale and i scooped them up one late nite. i also bought 14 of the covered hoppers they did in PC but they will stay as is.
i would like to personally thank ebay for making me broke, but what a sight it will be on the layout!
thanks for the help in advance. and as far!
as N scale goes, drop by the yahoo group sometime!
