I would like to see a good thrall high side gondola, I got some of the Athearn LEF&C ones but they have a fair amount of discrepencies. due to the fact that it is older tooling.

A corrugated 52' car would be cool to see.  I wonder if an FUD model is possible on this one, so that the corrugations can be seen inside as well as outside?  Otherwise it would have to be injection-molded as separate components and then built-up, the way the G26 was designed.  Unless the sides could be designed as inset pieces.

Anything that could get C&O on the side would be nice. A few people down here could use a bunch of those. Can't remember offhand if the BLMA would be good for the C&O. The P2K HO Greenville would be a surprise if it were done.

1. PC/CR corrigated gons. Any corrigated gons.
2. PS high side gon
3. Thrall high side gon with seperate ladder from the tub. Wish Athearn would update this MDC car with etched parts!
4. 60's - present 53' low side gons

My personal choice would be a PRR G43 or PC G43A / G43B / G43C corrugated side gondola.   A logical choice would be the P2K 15 panel car since RPM did an extensive article on it (don't have the issue), and it would appeal across the same era as the BLMA ACF gons.  I prefer the solid end version of this car, but I could live with the drop end version.  Thanks.

Gondola.not one from Venice, Italy. "Never Mind !" Seriously though I have to agree the Atlas Short Gon with canister load has run it's course and needs replacement. Nate Goodman (Nato).

The G36 was modified into almost a dozen variations (covered too) and over 5000 of them were on the rails in 1968. Pretty standard looking 12 panel 52' 6" IL gon.

Perhaps fits a bunch of other roads also?

Scott

Chance to beg for new sides for the G26 to make it a G33?  :P
I know I can scratchbuild them myself, but I know they will be produced a week after I do! ;)

That covered G36 can be bashed from some old body shell (sorry I forget who made it)

You're safe in kitbashing a G26A, G26C, G26S  or G33.
