Help with a project | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I've just purchased a resin PRR 42' composite gondola kit from Ted at Rails Unlimited. However, unlike the LV Wrong way boxcar which has 20 pages of instructions the gondola has none for proper detailing. It is a great body casting so I'd like to get build it as accurately as possible given my skills. Ted has informed me that The Keystone Modeler covered the car in issue #3 October 2003. If anyone has this and can scan the article and email or snail mail me a copy I'd be beholden to you. I'll post a picture of the finished product.

Update. thanks to Larry for a quick response. The gon moves to the workbench next week

Here are a couple photos of my completed GRa gondola from Ted's kit.

It shows a K brake arrangement too. I recommend you add the brass plate for weight as indicated in the instructions.
