Ignorance is Patriotic
Well, I started this project in January, and have finally finished it... Many of you know I model the NYCS in the northeast, where C&D (construction and demolition debris) is big business. The debris is usually hauled out in old coal gondolas or woodchip gons.
This latest batch of 41 cars adds to the 10 I had previously, now totaling 51 in my fleet. The cars are mostly Athearn Thrall gons and bathtub gons, with some Atlas Coalveyors and old MDC Thrall gons mixed in. In many cases, I kept the original car numbers and simply repatched the reporting marks... I've seen prototype cars that have been repatched, but have kept the original car number; I wanted to emulate this practice. Some cars have been renumbered altogether.
The pics will take a while to load, so be patient. Comments are appreciated.
