Modifying the Lionel 6-6209 NYC Standard O gondola

This is a very basic 42 foot standard O Lionel straight side gondola. BLT 1-85. Made by Fundimensions Division of CPG Products Corp., Mt. Clemens, Michigan. It suitable for smaller diameter track.

The model was modified to adjust the truck pivot to the truck centers to 8 inches (32 scale feet). The original mounting has the trucks offset. The Lionel black plastic "coal" load was also modified to sit lower in the car. Since the car will be used in MOW service the load will be painted to resemble ballast.
