Hi,
A few of you asked me about the status of these models.
I have the 17' D&RG construction flat and a gondola body. These were (IIRC) 1-56.
Note that the underframe has not arrived and so I am waiting on it. The two parts shown here are the 17' flat car body and an imagineered gondola body that plugs into it.
This was a test for the 14' gon. Although I have not confirmed that there were 17' gons, it very possible they existed - just no records (photo or otherwise).
They plug in very well. I assume thay will be glued (ACCed?) togethered.
I hope you find this interesting.
Thanks.
