Mike; The trucks look right, and the notch above the truck, but the deck looks different. I wonder if they could have changed it? Elden Gatwood

I like the nice, light weathering touch on most of these freight cars. 😊 BTW, I think I see a 28 or 29 weigh date on one of the GS gons; the cleanest looking one. Eric

Elden, I recognize that car, at least the general design, as a GSC 58’ depressed center flat. It could indeed have been an ERIE car, 7260-7265, rated at 125 tons, but other railroads had these as

Phillip, You're a few decades too late. The pallet as we know it, along with the fork-lift, were invented in the 1920s. By 1925, the pallet included bottom
