Ed Painter, a well-renowned rail photographer and avid modeler, recently sat down with Drayton to discuss his new Rivet Counter HO Scale Carbon Black Covered Hoppers cars. Back in the 1990s, Ed shot countless Norfolk Southern trains outside of his home in South Carolina and many of which would be transporting Carbon Black Hopper Cars to Michelin Seneca, NC. For Ed, these cars were a must-have and brought back many wonderful memories of train watching in the Palmetto State.
