Yummy!

Now if only someone would make a Thrall Gon in N...

Thanks, I just wish it hadn't been such a crappy day...freaking motion blur. I actually have another one of those I shot Saturday. They seem to be a little common on the Allentown-Baltimore train. I probably have a few more I never even got around to editing, I'll set them aside if I come across any.

I see lots of those, often loaded with scrap.

Any idea where in Baltimore they're going to or coming from?

What's it hauling?  There's always a ton of gondolas at Cambridge Iron and Scrap off of O'Donnell Street...

No idea. The train works Enola, so they might be getting dropped there for movement farther west.

Is this the same type of gon, with slightly different side panel spacing?

Not really, no.

Same builder, but about 15-20 years newer.

Walthers's newer 53' Thrall gon would be closer and Modeler's Choice has a laser cut styrene kit for these older SOO Thrall cars. Note the car in the photo is still in (what's left of) its original paint; you can see the older style Thrall builder's logo along the bottom of the car.
