Bachman Southern 50 Ton Gondolas

Two different photos of two nearly identical seven rib design cars. One is slightly darker painted and its sides are slightly wavy -- as a well used gondola should be! Unboxed with metal wheels and rapido style couplers.

Trix B&O 50 Ton Gondola

Roundhouse Products 52' N&W 73 Ton Gondola

Definitely the nicest model of the five here. This one has a cast metal frame that the plastic body fits over. Thus it is nicely weighted -- it rolls well on my laptop as I write this. 

A 13 rib design marked as constructed in April of 1974 makes this model decades newer than the others on this page. Boxed with plastic wheels and rapido style couplers. 

Road Number:

N&W 97194

Price on box is $4.95. Online I've seen prices between $4.75 and $6.00 for this model.
