C&O 53' 50 ton Gondola
|
I was recently given a few copies of RP CYC and in issue 4, there is a photo of a C&O gondola hauling freight car trucks. The photo isn't credited that I could see, I would like to find either a hi-res digital copy of this or a quality print. This car was built by ACF, but other similar cars were built by Greenville (29900-29999), Ralston (30000-30099), Bethlehem (31000-31149) & ACF (31150-31549) between 1936-1939. The cars have 12 ribs which doesn't seem to be done in an HO scale model that I have found. Does anyone make a car close to this?
Thanks Dave Wetterstroem |

Take a look at the photos at
Railroad-C - Pullman-Library (smugmug.com)
There are a couple of the Greenville batch that can be downloaded.

I think this is the prototype - it close to it - of the Bachmann 50’ gon.
