Bob, Group;
While a long way from home (not really), for a URR gondola, and with a load unusual for that road (not really), I would add that this is typical gon behavior, from the numerous photos and documents I have analyzed. They went everywhere, with everything in them.
No one currently makes a gondola model of this guy, but there is a nice F&C kit of the later 50’ URR gons unique to the “steel’ roads like URR, McKCon, Lake Terminal and others. Everyone needs at least one of these guys.
