Lantic Sugar HO and O Scale PS-2 Hoppers Lettered with Walthers Decals
Lantic Sugar had a refinery in Saint John, N.B. Canada,which was closed in the past few years.    The owner of this O Scale car states the decals are actually for the Airslide Hopper operated by the firm.   Note the name lettering is in a different font than shown in Bill Linley's photo on the other page.    I am looking for HO and/or O scale decals similar to these sets.
AHM or IHC offered this HO scale hopper car some time ago as a track cleaning car.  I acquired this one from  Lupo Mulder in the Netherlands, who saw my request on this page - Thank you!  Note the European style couplers.  I later acquired a similar car with Kadee couplers.  The HO scale car was donated by Wayne Marshall of Guelph, Ontario - Thanks!.   He got in in a collection from a friend.    It' an AHM car, apparently lettered with the older Walthers decals.
The larger car in HO scale is a 2009 release by Con-Cor, the smaller one is in N scale and was made by Atlas; it was a gift from Wayne Marshall.   Note the difference in the gray color of the car.  I'm told they should be yellow like those in the above photo.
