Hi,
Walthers item #: 932-7976 Pullman-Standard PS-2 2893 cubic-foot three-bay covered hoppers
I am inquiring if someone might know the earliest time period in which these covered hoppers were seen on the tracks. I am hoping they are true 1950's cars, but I am unsure if that would be pushing the envelope with regards to the prototype.
Many Thanks, Matt
Google is your friend.

You can generally get a pretty good idea of era by looking at the Built and Last Shopped dates on the car. OF course this only works if you have an actual model in your hand to look at. Hard to do if you're scanning the pathetic pics posted on Internet hobby shops.
Yeah, and that works only if the lettering is authentic for that car....

Thank you!!! That's a fabulous link. Much appreciated!
Unfortunately, that is the issue. I am unable to see / read the internet image on the Walthers website. It helps when they include the Blt date in the write-up, but that is not always provided.
