I've acquired a large quantity of acrylic sheet. I'm looking for plans for a 2 or 3 bay steel hopper. I would also like any contact info or recommendations for someone doing laser cutting.

Thanks

Standard gauge? Narrow gauge?

Andre,

From your previous posts about the Aristo Mike, I'm guessing you are looking for a std gauge hopper? I may have a plan - will check when I get home.

Doug Bronson, at Bronson-Tate did a kits for our Masterclass and will do custom work. I imagine he can do acrylic as well as wood and sytrene.

He better say Standard.....

Both Standard and NG. I have enough acrylic to make cars to my heart's content.....if I get plans.

Andr'a , have you not seen my threads, buy HO scale ones and a 1:29 ruller. then you can resale the cars

I've located a local sign shop that has a CNC router they use to cut acrylic. If I can locate plans in the proper format they will cut them for me. drawings might work for them. I'll find out tomorrow

I know this is an old thread - did this ever go anywhere?

Brian,

You're not kidding about this being old. . .

I think Andre made some caboose bodies from the acrylic sheet, but never got around to hoppers. Perhaps because 2 and 3 bay hoppers are now widely available in 1/20th (Bachmann, Accucraft,) 1/22nd (Bachmann) and 1/29th (Aristocraft, USATrains) from those manufacturers.
