My brother-in-law made several of these small wood blocks for me. They will give the little blue hopper fleet some ore loads to carry.  The blocks were copied from the original block my grandfather had made back in 1967 for his small fleet of three BM hoppers. Keith made the new ones using some of the same tools my grandfather use over 30 years ago. After Keith made the wood blocks my wife glued on the rocks and then I applied the paint to match my grandfathers original ore load the best we could.
