KCS Covered Hopper - a photo on Flickriver

KCS Covered Hopper

I saw some of these on the cover of an old Trains magazine and thought it would make a good MOC. For the most part, I was right, but getting the grey stripe along the top to be the right thickness was a bit of a challenge. I ended up making it a bit thicker than it should be. Additionally, I had to make the entire car 1 plate taller than most of my other covered hoppers to get the grey curved slopes to line up with the rest of the stripe, so it looks a bit too stocky in my opinion. Let me know what you think. Comments are welcome.

The prototype

Instructions for my MOCs are available on my BrickLink store.
