Model Railroading > Gondola Assortment

I was asked by a TO member via PM if I would be able to post any pictures of some gondolas that I've done some weathering on.  Ex-Milwaukee Road, Ex-DT&I, inserts for empty gondola bottoms.  I'll add a few more photos to follow these 3.

 That DT&I car is downright pitiful-----please take that as a compliment!

BN flatcar with gondola sides added (yes, there is a prototype for this one), MKT, Herzog.

GONX, GONX, and just for some variety I'll include a flatcar as well.

Thanks very much for looking in.

Those all look excellent. How did you make the scrap load?

Those are all excellent but the dent work in the Herzog is out of this world!

Excellent modeling!

Your cars by the amount of tagging, must have made One trip through the Calif Tagging areas

They look VERY Nice

I couldn't have said it better!  Jim, your weathering detail is "off the charts!"

A Fellow needs a tetanus shot just to look at these.  Fantastic.

The scrap metal in my JSSX gondola is busheling from a milling machine, glued down to a piece of styrene that is cut to fit the gondola.  I made several of them, to fit any of the gondolas that leave the scrap metal yard. In the photo you can just see the end of the pile that I made for the scrap yard.  I also made a few loads of non-ferrous (aluminum) busheling as well.

As good as it gets! The 2nd photo, with the scrap, is an absolute masterpiece!

VERY NICE!

The weathering is amazing and the loads make them really pleasing to the eye.  Beautiful work!
