In the year 2010, MTH OFFERED A UNION PACIFIC ALL STEEL DROP BOTTOM 56 TON GONDOLA CAR. -- MTH RAILROADER CLUB CAR -- BOX #20-98094 CAR #60350. It is a very nice Gondola except for the FOUR GRAB IRON LADDERS that the BRAKEMAN HOLDS ON TO WHEN SWITCHING SAID CAR. One must handle the car with the Utmost Care when removing it from the packing carton and NEVER TOUCH THESE GRAB IRONS AS THEY WILL BRAKE OFF AND IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GLUE THEM BACK ONTO THE CAR. Usually MTH uses thicker grab iron ladders on there freight cars except this car has extremely FRAGILE ones. If you own ones of these cars and have never taken it out of the box...please use the utmost care when handling it. Sincerely yours, railbear601
