After a very long wait, my new Lake Terminal Railroad gondolas arrived and I immediately paired them with my MTH Premier Nickel Plate Road 0-6-0 and my Lionel US Steel slag and hot metal cars. Why pair all of these things up? Why, to create a close approximation of what once was at the Lorain, OH steel mills of course!
The first three slag cars the train picks up are from the early 2000's while the second set of three and the two hot metal cars are from 2016.
Enjoy!
