inch thick steel flat panels. An unusual feature was that grab iron ladders were on all four corners of the cars.

The SP cars had strips of corrugated material weld- ed to the tops of their side chords. Tie- down forgings were also attached on the interior side walls in line with every other vertical side post.

Car built 720 of these gondolas: 150 for Chicago & North Western (128000- 128149), 100 for Southern Pacific (340625-340724), 470 for Missouri Pa- cific Railroad (650900-651399). Dia- grams and photos of the Greenville gondola were published in the 1980 is- sue of Car and Locomotive Cyclopedia. ExactRail has recently offered ready-to-run models of the 65-foot, 100-ton mill gondola built by Greenville Steel Car Company. The model is the first HO model offered of the distinctive Greenville 65-foot mill gondola. It has factory-installed wire grab irons, brake rods, coupler cut bars and air hoses. See-through etched met- al end platforms are factory installed. The side interiors are accurately de- tailed with corrugations and tie-downs in line with every other vertical side post. Tie-downs are not represented on the top of the sides as on the prototype.


Accurate oval-shaped “hook and pull” apertures are in each end of each side sill.


ExactRail 100-ton ASF “Ride-Con-


trol” trucks with CNC-machined metal 36″ wheels on metal axles are in- stalled. The model has factory-in- stalled Kadee No. 58 couplers in nar- row-style draft boxes. The weight of the ready-to-run model is 4¹/₂ ounces. ExactRail offers these Greenville gondola ready-to-run models decorated for Missouri Pacific, Chicago & North Western, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific. The Union Pacific is not known to have owned any Greenville gondo- las. The paint color and finish is excel- lent. The lettering is sharp and match- es photos of the prototype. All the lettering on the prototype is applied in- cluding the trust agreement and the Greenville builders’ logo. The model is securely packaged in a


plastic package. This distinctive ready- to-run model by ExactRail is an out- standing, accurate model for the post- 1979 that will meet the expectations of modelers. This is the first model of- fered for this car, and the price for it is $34.95.—JOHN RIDDELL
