SVL: 2-Bay Hoppers for Ashgrove (2)

I'm done with the first batch of the 2-bay hoppers I'm preparing for servicing the Ashgrove quarry in Jacksonville on the Silicon Valley Lines. After painting and basic weathering the cars over the last couple weeks, today all cars got their matte varnish coat while I was watching the tsg multimedia Layout Design Panel Discussion.

Here are all 9 cars staged on the Welztalbahn. While it was a lot of fun giving a bunch of very similar cars a unique personality each, and I still have another 9 cars to work on, I'm now going to pivot back to the Untergröningen module. A couple orders have arrived, so I can continue working on kitbashing the locomotive shed and scratch-building the station building.
