You are right about loading over the trucks. This is what the D&RGW and WP did with their rather significant traffic in coiled steel. For the whole story and some photos try: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~ggg9y/gon.html . Kind regards, Garth G. Groff Scott Pitzer wrote in part:: Funny thing about the Sunshine Models gon loads such as ingot iron for engine blocks, and aluminum ingots-- only a few of these items, placed over the trucks, made a full load. So in model form, you start with a resin gon that weighs nothing, and you add a few RESIN ingots for a full load, and you hope the whole thing doesn't blow away! (I know, Martin's in the resin business, not the lead business...) |
