But the gondola wasn't a cut-down version of a Mather box or stock car... and they didn't attempt a rectangular wooden tank car-- otherwise P2K could make use of previous tooling! Scott

Yes, there actually was a gondola built by Mather (C&IM 9250-9349, blt. 1943) and I would pay handsomely for a publishable photo of one. It's one of the few Emergency cars for which I am still

Sorry about that, I meant to... (you know the rest!)

Al, Do you have "The Walking Dead" with Boris Karloff? My mother was ten or eleven when it came out and it made a BIG impression! Scott Pitzer

Bill - I'll probably see you and/or Randy this weekend but remember, not every road made a new submission every quarter. Look carefully at the submission date at the bottom of the listing to

Was there ever a Mather gondola, or a Mather tank car? <G> Scott Pitzer ======= L-L hasn't given up on P2K and in fact there are some new freight cars in the works, though that's all I can tell

... as in this -model- might have been around when steam was still running ... *W* I have a really old, all metal, Mantua flat car that actually has pretty fair detail and well done paint

Garrett and all the Newburgh and South Shore cars is listed as built by Magor Car Company. Was the NSS a USS road? Since the ORER entry says this is a 40' car maybe my original premise is back in

No need to panic, Jerry. L-L hasn't given up on P2K and in fact there are some new freight cars in the works, though that's all I can tell you at this point. But we're probably not going to see many
