Trash Gondolas in N scale?

[johnhale]

I am considering modeling a Waste Management trash transfer facility. To support that I will need three or four gondolas for the trash. Here are a couple of pictures of the gondolas in question (some are based on woodchip gondolas):

I don't mind bashing to get them. But before I do that does anyone else have any other options?

Thanks in advance,
John

for the 2 green ones, you might be able to bash them together using Bathtub bottom hoppers, and extending the sides?

Those cars they use at Jessup are some huge ones.



I wish someone would make these.



See them all the time on CSX and NS.  Some green, gray and orange.

or you could use flatcars
kato makes a flatcar with 4 or 5 small containers. they could
be painted to look like trash cans

They make trash spines John, not the type of trash car John (johnhale) is looking for,

There was an N scale manufacturer that was going to release the green gons, in WM paint too, but he went out of business before doing so. Alas...

[johnhale]

Well if no one has a better idea, I will try to get some of the Deluxe Innovations Wood Chip Cars (the TERX models) (http://www.blwnscale.com/Deluxe%20Wood%20Chip%20Car.htm)and start with those to bash them.

It goes in line behind my other projects, when I start, I will post shots.

Dang it ! I was just about to suggest repainted ( your choice of color ) Woodchip car. Don't forget a fine screen over top to prevent garbage from flying out on the mainline.

For the green WM cars (the green cars, they were originally owned and lettered for Waste Management), Mike's idea's the best. I'd use two bathtub cars to get the right car length and the bathtub portion, cats that, then make sides and ends yourself. I may still have some detail shots of those cars if you need them.

Maybe someone could make a resin casting of a trash load with extended sides to fit in the Atlas bathtub gons.

Trash gons, high side gons,extended side coal gons are some pretty big holes in all scales.

If someone told me 30 years ago that railroads would make money hauling trash, I would tell him or her they are nuts.
