Pretty typical hopper-bottom gondola. This type was fairly common from the 1880s through 1910, but was superseded by self-clearing hoppers and GS gondolas.

These cars had shallow hoppers and clamshell doors. This hardware was common on many steel gondolas built in the 1900-1915 years.

Bob McGlone shared an interesting upgrade on a Bowser GS model on my blog. His model work reflects the prototype appearance of a few thousand Pennsy GS gons that we’re built with shallow hoppers and clamshell doors. Eric Hansmann Murfreesboro, TN
