Lionel 6-9821 SP Standard O gondola

This is a very basic 42 foot standard O Lionel straight side gondola. BLT 1-73.

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 car underframe was attached with small machine screws rather than using "tabs" improving the appearance. Also the plastic "load" was modified to set deeper in the car which improves somewhat the appearance. Since the car will be used in MOW service the load will be painted to resemble ballast.

Good detail for the day in the early 1970's. Pretty crude by today's standards. From Pola dies in Denmark. First use of Standard O diecast trucks.
