gondolas
Gondolas...
The pick up trucks of the railroad. Gondolas are
some of the most beat up pieces of rolling stock around. Chessie
had a wide variety of paint jobs for gondolas. Below are the ones
I have done so far. Adding a little dirt and junk into the
bottoms
of your gondolas will make them look much more prototypical.
Listed here in numerical order by class are my gons.
