Can anyone that has an atlas 40' drop bottom gondola measure the inside dimensions of length and width?  Thanks!

When did Atlas release a 40' drop-bottom gondola?

Was the Roco car they imported a drop bottom?

I think it's an O scale car from when Atlas took over Intermountain O scale cars.


Hmm... or not...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

No it is staring me right here in the face and I don't know why I put atlas in the thread title or body. 

I am looking for the measurements for the MT 40' GS drop bottom gondola.  Like this:

I have no clue why I had atlas on the mind.   :facepalm:

The best I can do is 64ths of an inch, so:

41/64 wide, 5/8 + a 64th  That's measured at the ends, all of my cars bow inward slightly in the middle, but if the sides are forced out straight, they;re the same width there.

2 63/64 long, 1/64 short of 3 inches.

That's at the top.  If there's any taper, the bottom will be smaller, but I can't measure that with my ruler.
