Westerfield gon

[NW Modeling List]

Dave ; thanks you.

Jim, Jim: thank you guys, but here's what's going on.  I'm giving a clinic
on the "battleship" gons of the three Pochahontas railroads at the C&O
Modelers Meet next weekend at Hawks Nest.  I'm going to include a brief rif
on the (sadly few good)models available thereof, and the several less than
stellar models that have been done over the years.  The Red Ball model will
be discussed, as what I believe was a model made a generation later to the
same (unprototypical)pattern by Concept.  But I'm not going to give away
more as that will decrease the excitement level if you get to hear the
clinic at some convention in the future.  I can tell you that when Steve
Summers, Al Kresse, and I started this project we thought that between the
three railroads we'd be dealing with something like 6 to 8 classes of
gondolas; we have identified approximately 17.  Jim N: yes, you remembered
the Red Ball correctly.  Jim K; as on O scaler you're in great shape as
Rich Yoder did a truly exquisite model of the Virginian gon in brass, and a
train of about 15 of those would be quite impressive.
