Friends,
Down at the local train store there is a Great Northern
Ulrich/Walthers GS gondola in their used equipment case. The car's
ends extend up to form heap shields atop the usual flat end with
two horizontal braces. Is this model close to any GN cars, or did
any other roads have cars of this design with heap shield ends?
I'm tempted to buy it and do some upgrades, but not if the ends
are wrong.
Despite the cast-on grabs, I'm partial to the Ulrich cars. I have
one lettered up for SP, and have recently acquired two more at
bargain prices that will get the same treatment.
Yours Aye,
Garth Groff
