In this video there are some long gondolas (CSX, railgon, ect ) seen passing. Does anyone know who makes these?
Phil,
They are scratch built.
Jens Bang and Grant Minor started building them and then Marty (Nebraska) built some.
UGGHHH!!! That’s what I was afraid of. Good thing I just picked up some 100 ton roller bearing trucks for a scratch build project. Looks like this might be what they get used for.
Phil,
Check this site or back issues of Garden Railway magazines because Marty wrote an article on how he kit-bashed two Aristo-Craft 40ft gondolas into the larger ones.
None of those Gondolas were built by Jen, Grant or Marty.
They are mine and build by a freind in Washington state
If you go over to MLS and do a search under Gondolas
there are a few different people who have built some and
there are pictures posted that could help you out.

Merry Xmas all…
Thanks Nick. These look like they are not too tough to build. Debating on doing a couple of these or a high side gon of some kind. Might end up doing both.
