Friends, I have just added photos of two very rare shortline gondolas to "Garth Groff's Album 6, Freight Cars" for your knowledge, enjoyment, and approval. They are found on

I’m looking forward to seeing the video, Jared. Cheers Dave

Bob, The MDT articles at my disposal (Hinman and Rydarwicz) do not mention Duryea underframes. That said, according to a document posted on the Steam Era Freight Cars web site

Tom Klimoski who attended the last session with three friends videoed the session. It whould be posted on You Tube soon. I will let everyone know when it can be viewed. Jared Harper
