1/8 gondola picture
 

Bruce you have asked me to post a picture of my gondola that I am building. I have almost finished it. I only need to attach the trucks, couplers, and paint it.
The first picture is of my gondola as it is now. Hope to see everyone at the Mid-South live steamers spring meet, May 4-6. Website - www.midsouthlivesteamers.org
Have fun,
Andrew

Looks good!:)


Will you be outfitting this car with two legged cargo capability?

Bruce-
I plan to put 2 "boat" seats in it. They have backs and will be mounted above car sides a few inches. So they should be more comfortable than my other car.
Also I just puchased a caboose. It is red, unlettered, and has a end cupola.
Thanks,
Andrew

Have you decided on a RR scheme/name yet so you can decorate the caboose? And, will your new gon be equipped with cup holders?:D

Re: 1/8 gondola picture
 

Bruce- Sorry to say that the gondola won't be equipped with cup holders.
Both the caboose and gondola will be lettered for the SOUTHERN. The gondola will be painted in a dark box car red, then the letters and numbers will be white. The caboose is already painted red, and will have white letters and numbers on it.
Thanks,
Andrew

The spring festival in Columbia is fast approaching. Will your new rolling stock be ready for the show?


Hope to see you there!
