We are currently really lacking in the variety of gondolas
in S Scale. There was a very good western drop bottom gondola made, but I
have not bought one yet. Click on the photos to make them
larger GRa This car is a urethane kit that was made by Steve Funaro for
Central Hobby Supply in Syracuse NY in the early 1990s It was released at the
same time as the FM flat car kit. I assembled the GRa first. It is also the
first urethane kit I assembled. I was not very interested in underbody detail
at that time, so there is none added on this car. There were some assembly
issues with this kit. The ends were not long enough to cover the sides. They
were too long to fit between the sides. So I had to compromise and notch the
sides to get the ends to fit. I made all the stake pockets 1 at a time. It is
currently in need of some minor repairs. This is a car I would like to make
in brass some day. G24 This is a Ready To Run plastic G24
with a real wood interior. It is made by Des
Plaines Hobbies. G26 & G26a This is a PRR G26 made by Pennsy S Models. PRR G30 N&W G4 These are the same car made by Cryer
Gray Foundry. I removed the tie down rail from the
top rail on the PRR G30 NYC Gondola This is a urethane kit produced in
the early 1990s by Central Hobby Supply of Syracuse
NY I got is partially finished in a
collection. I finished it in Spring 2011. Updated 7-2-11 All photos and content © Lanes Trains 2005-2011 |
