Ballast cars needed

Post by Trainman4602 »

OK lets try this again
I am looking for a COMPANY or INDIVIDUAL to build four ballast cars in steel. They need to dump to the side and in the middle of the rail as well. I want them to be about 18 inches high and 18 inches wide and 6 ft long and modeled after the HERZOG ballast cars using four dump locations two on each side. They will ride on Titan Trains Modern trucks. I have posted a picture of what I am looking for.

Little bigger than scale but not too bad.

Just to confirm, is the 18" x 18" x 6' dimensions for the inside of the hopper? Or the exterior max dimensions of the car?

Do you want controls for dumping to the middle and side at the same time? Or only middle/only sides?
Thanks
