Bruce Siebold, presently the Mechanical Manager for the BNSF Railway in Fort Worth, Texas, sent us these pictures of his most recent modeling efforts! The large hopper in the back is Bruce's 1 1/2" to the foot model! Looks like a brand new full sized hopper, doesn't it? Bruce pulls out all the stops when he builds a model! The train in front of it is G Scale - the cars are about six inches tall!

This shot shows Bruce's hopper very nicely! The basic construction is steel angle iron, sheet steel sides, and cast iron couplers, trucks, and wheels. Bruce did a great job! The pictures were taken at a BNSF Family Day in Fort Worth, Texas, September 22, 2006.
