Various Covered Hoppers

This weekend I began work on a few covered hopper repaints. I'd really like to crank out a large quantity of various types of covered hoppers, so I'm open to more suggestions.
So far, I've used the G-Trax hopper that we've been seeing a lot of, and the freeware Searchlight Simulations ribbed hopper. I would like to try some other types of hoppers in the future.
I'll post the ones I've worked on in this thread.
Please note: I started a full time job recently and it's occupying a lot of my time. I will most likely not work on any of these or send any to be uploaded during the weekdays. Repainting is a weekend project for me

This is a type of hopper I keep seeing around my area, so I thought it would be neat to make it. This is the Searchlight Simulations hopper with a child object to remove the ribbing

Thank you. For most of these I’m finding side pictures of railcars and pasting it directly on to the texture file.

Noticed a problem the other day...
On one side of the G-Trax hopper, the left-most and right-most panel are swapped with each other

I would love to make more repaints of that model, but I can't find any photo references of any other company having them. Do you know what numbers the UP or ADMX ones are?
