Hello All!
Anybody out there have the NMRA Living Legends #3 Gibraltar RR car? Can you tell me what type it is? One page on the NMRA site is down and the other shows a box car.
Reason I ask is this...I just found a Gibraltar 2-bay hopper at a swap meet yesterday. It looks like a basic Athearn car with details added (coupler lift bars and 'rings' near each truck on the sides, and bracing added between the weight and the coupler box, er, draft gear). The lettering is all decal work and the emblem looks painted on. It is extremely well weathered. The final clue is a small '45' written underneath in silver paint on one of the weights. Number is 1353 on the car, with all the dimensional data seemingly screened on, like an Athearn car.
Is this one of Milt's, or an NMRA car, or what?
Galen
