Model Railroading > Fantasy Alert: Kaiser Steel gondolaDate: 06/02/20 19:40 Fantasy Alert: Kaiser Steel gondola Author: SimpleMoMike Fantasy Alert: I was placed on quaratine status for 14 days so the mild fever lead me to disguise an old Bachmann gondola and turned it into a Kaiser Steel gondola. Kaiser did not have gondolas like this, I just wanted to make use of a car I had no plans on using. I am a fan of Eagle Mountain Mine ran by Kaiser Steel and I had extra decals so I decided to give it a go. I had fun and it helped past the time. I hope everybody is staying safe and thanks for looking.

There was plenty of room before the channel silted in.

The picture is the actual location I modeled. It is where the EMRR crossed Phone Line Road just south of town. It's amazing how much sand is moved around from flash floods which makes them so dangerous.
