Not saying that there were not "unit" trains of these cars, but there are lots of pictures with these cars mixed in with 50/55 ton 2 bay and 70 ton 3 bay hoppers.

If enough customers want it he just might!
Note that the PRR had exactly ONE of this gondola class: #306001 as pictured above.
Bob, Penn$$$y guy$ will pay to tool up for one right?

No zinc pest either, please.
You should be able to get two rail buckeyes from PSC. IT's the Three Railers who can't get a RB Buckeye for all those military flat cars.

I said a big enough house to run 100 car trains - my layout is only 14 x 14 so I need to limit to around 25-30 cars max.
I posted previously about these cars in steel mill service, I found the pictures. For those who want something for an industry or an unusual use:
According to the information at this location https://marmarinou.tumblr.com/...ola-car-sterling-ill Northwestern Steel and Wire had at least one until around 1980, it looked as if it should have been put out of its misery years ago and I would find it difficult to do this to one of Scott's (or Rich's) products, but it does present and opportunity.
Rich Yoder's website has a picture of one in interchange service lettered for Laclade Steel Co - LSCX AD19, look under his Project archive section. Ideas for the undec. one - the Laclade Steel car is intriguing.
I couldn't find the latest post, do we'll use the first.
The Battleship gons are supposed to be on the way. Has anyone gotten theirs yet?
UPS tracking says tomorrow, but I will be on the road until the weekend. :-/
Strange, I ordered a two-rail one but as of yet have not received a tracking number; well, if they have shipped yet.
Just arrived. Here's some quick shots of the first of five I ordered
It is a beautiful car. Includes all the interior bracing and as you can see I ordered the matching coal loads. The coal loads are unique. The coal sits in a plastic tray that is designed to avoid all the inside details and bracing.
Well done , Scott!
