Steve, I'm as far from a hard core modeller as one can get.
I've dabbled in N Scale, no steam, but enjoy having some
decent models to play with, love my RS-18. Use whatever you're
comfortable with, only rabid purists will ever know the
difference, and most of them aren't totally prototypical.

Ranier,
Thanks for the info and the photos. "Yes and no" is a good answer. For my
needs, I think it's a close enough match, recognizing that the
smaller-capacity hoppers may never be done in HO scale. I'll keep the IM
versions!
