Ok I understand, but who is MTH ???
Is that the company which builds nothing except to large locomotives.
:P
Joking aside,

I have copied the text of ams Accucraft uk.
Are there pictures on the net, or is there only one ?
I can not find anything, or are they all scrapped ?

The open hoppers accurately represent a group of 3-bay cars built by Bethlehem Steel Corp. for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. C&O obtained 1000 cars in series 105000-105999, constructed on builder’s Lot # DF-152, between January and March 1951. The cars have a rated capacity of 2622 cu. ft., measure 40’ 8” inside length, and 41’ 9 3/4” over strikers. The model is developed directly from the builder’s General Arrangement drawings. Cars decorated for the Virginian Railway will not be 100% accurate. However, the 3-bay hopper can still serve as fine ‘stand-in’ model, particularly for those interested in operating coal trains behind their Virginian edition 2-6-6-6 “Allegheny”.

Where is the coal car, I've been waiting a couple of years.
This will certainly be a good model.
But when ?
