Greenville gons

Al & Patricia Westerfield <westerfield@...>
 

OK, so now I'm getting familiar with the gons. Turns out both Erie and
Nickel Plate used them for containers. Unfortunately, the Sunshine version
is much too narrow (8'10" vs 9'6" for the prototype). Can anyone measure up
the width of a Life Like? I don't have one. Thanks.

Al, my Sunshine measures about 8'8" vs 9'2" for the P2K model. Margin of error
+/- 2" due to measuring with a ruler.

Al - On the Life-like model, 1.24 inches, measured with a caliper. 1.22 if
you take the tie down lugs into account. - John

Thanks, Tim, John and Charlie. Neither car will fit my loads. If they were
the proper width they would. Grumble, grumble....
