I have the long side door model in front of me. Looks great. I will check it against photos and I may even measure it. I will try to get a jpeg in the files...
I just picked up a USRA drop bottom wooden gondola with M&St.L markings. It was made by Intermountain Railway Co. for N scale and it looks nice. I think there...
... I know that there are a few N scalers here- Can anyone speak to prototype fidelity of this car? I looked at Gene's freight car list in Files. Didn't see...

Folks, Got this photo while I was at the Oklahoma Train Show last Dec. 2003. Is this a drop bottom gondola? I can't find the number series in Gene's freight ...
According to a handout I got from a Gene Green/Clark Propst clinic on M&StL freight cars, the M&StL purchased new in 1920 250 USRA drop bottom gons, numbered...
... HO ... Doug- Guess that I worry a bit. In N scale, we have in the past suffered from what I call "Con Cor" syndrome. Where any old paint scheme is simply ...
In response to Tom's photo: This is a drop bottom gon, note the rods between each stake at the bottom of the side panel. The drop doors formed a flat floor in...

Tom, and others I just looked at the freight car list Gene has posted in the files. It lists suggested models that could be used for M&StL freight cars,...
Ken, If you can find one, the February 2000 issue of Railmodel Journal has a article on these cars that contains many proto photos of the cars in the various...
This thread begs the question: Never having seen an M&StL "Drop Bottom" or "GS" Gon, even in photographs, I'm wondering: Was the old Ulrich/Walthers Metal Kit...
Hi Tom- I wasn't questioning that the M&St.L had these cars. Just asking of the accuracy for the N scale car I-M produced, as related to the M&St.L. Lettering,...
Has anybody painted up a SW1500 in the red and white M&StL Colors? I'm having built a live steam SW1500 in 2.1" scale -- about 8'long, 21"wide and around 32"...

Which list? The photo posted by Mr. Stolte has been correctly identified as one of a group of 250 drop-bottom (GS) gondolas built by GATC for the M&StL in...
Havng been swallowed up by the C&NW, the M&STL indeed did not live long enough to see the SW1500 era. I doubt anyone has painted one in Big Red, but if you...
Thanks Gene. I knew you would come through with the correct information on the gon questions. I attended some clinics at Toronto last summer on Gons and...
Hey all, Cash and I went down to Luverne,IA and had a nice visit with Dennis, lots of M&StL stuff! and a cold visit with the cupola caboose there. We stopped...
I would like to thank everyone who sent me the info on the Red Hoppers. I'm going to get a couple of the HO cars and I'll decal a couple in O scale to go with...
Friends: While on the subject, did any of these cars ever make it to the CNW green/yellow scheme? If so, are there any photos? MDC has an N scale car and I ...
Thanks to the few participants in the group responding to my request for some color ideas for an SW1500. I'm thinking now that I might try the older M&StL...
