L&N and NKP gons and flat
|
Chad Boas
All,
The next round of kits will be the wood side gons for L&N and NKP. The L&N is a 46'9" and can be either a flat car or can be ordered with the sides parts. The NKP is a 50'9" wood side gon. The kits will include the Red Caboose pockets for the wood sides. I have added a file called L&N and NKP gons and flat. The L&N car is there and I am working on getting a picture of the NKP. I will have these cars avalible for Naperville. Contact me off list for more information. Thanks, Chad Boas |

These are from your suggestion. I think there was a NKP flat car made from these. Still looking for conformation. There were some flats listed that were 50'9". Also, I added photos of the NKP. Should be able to get it painted over the weekend. Chad Boas --- In STMFC@..., "lnbill" <fgexbill@...> wrote:

Chad,
Is your L&N gondola based on the 25800-25999 series cars built by Mt. Vernon Car Mfg. Co. in 1928? Steve Johnson From: STMFC@...

Yes it is. The flats are from the 22000-22249, 24300-24549, and 24550-24799. Chad Boas --- In STMFC@..., "Steven D Johnson" <tenncentralrwy@...> wrote:

Photos of the L&N gons are available. There is one available from Bob's Photos and I think my MtV Builder's Photo came from the Merrilee's Collection at the Archives of Canada. Then there is a group of 3 photos shot by Howard Ameling from different angles of a car loaded w/coal. I think Mr. Ameling's photos are now available through Cleveland St. Univ. where his collection is deposited. My memory is I made these available to Chad to assist his pattern making and the necessary decals.

L&N 25884 from Bob's is a nice broadside shot in Wilson, NC on 2-2-1952 w/a reweigh date of 1950. The Ameling photos of L&N 25823 are 1957 in Sarasota, FL. Stenciling identical to 25884. These three include good views of each end. L&N 25800, the Builder's Photo, cataloged as PA 182717, is a 3/4 shot giving a good view of the "B" end. BTW, Bob's is also the source for L&N 26371, which is a shorter gon also w/wood sides and stake pockets. Southern had a similar car, both of which resemble the PRR GR/GRa. With Chad's new kit, virtually every gondola owned by the L&N into the 1950's can now be modeled in HO except the above small wood side gon. Athearn has their (and NC&StL's) 65-ft mill gon. Westerfield's 45-ft USRA mill gon can be used for the L&N's copy of these, Sunshine has their 40-ft gon kit (and NC&StL's) and InterMountain has their USRA 40-ft composite gon. Life is good!

Bill,
Thanks for the information on the photos. I have a photocopy of what I think is a builder's photo of L&N gondola # 26000, the first of 1,000 of those shorter gons that you mentioned. Also have a copy of a ca. late 1940s lettering diagram for those cars. Steve Johnson From: STMFC@... [mailto:STMFC@...] On Behalf Of lnbill Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2012 1:59 PM To: STMFC@...
