To further address your question, Tom .... No prototype for the Athearn gondolas, also their Atlas and Cox versions. Model gondola is nominal 50 feet long, an uncommon or nonexistent prototype

B&O had several in the 1930's and 1940's, for service on the far east end of the system. American Can might have been the shipper. Cars known to exist by description, not photos, these cars did not

I believe that the atlas gondola is An athearn gondola that was assembled And repackaged under the Atlas name for use in train sets. The Cox company did this with Some of their cars as well.

Bob, Would this be the specialty paper mill in Chagrin Falls? If so, it did not have direct rail service. A truck was used to transport material to and from the small W&LE terminal a few blocks away.

I am enjoying reading Speedwitch's Vol. 6 "Focus on Freight Cars" that includes several good photos of the SFRD's Rr-18 class. I had forgotten about this interesting wood-sheathed version of the

There was a LOT of variation in Bettendorf sideframe design. Since they were developing new technology (cast sideframes) every time a problem surfaced they would make a design change to deal with it.
