Everything you wanted to know about gondolas (but were afraid to ask)
| March 05, 2019 03:22PM |
When I announced the Eureka & Palisade book, I mentioned we had another project in the works of interest to the readers of this group, and today I am pleased to announce, "Rio Grande High-Side Gondolas - The versatile gons of the D&RG/D&RGW narrow gauge."
Written by Dr. Stan Rhine of "3 Days-20 Bucks" and "Tin Feathers, Wooden Trestles and Iron Men" fame, this is 178 pages of pure gon-geek bliss. Every class of car, every car number, every detail variation, it is covered in this book, and we just threw open the gates to the pre-sale on this new book.

Along the lines of Vic Stone's "Taking Stock," (and Vic wrote the Foreword), it is the most complete, most scholarly, yet most accessible tome ever written on the topic. You'll like it, so let the foaming begin!
