    MP 531 Project

    Thanks, Cal. Details West offers them in HO, unfortunately I model in N. 2slim has offered me a drawing of them, so I guess I will have to figure out how to make them. The grills are from a Gold Medal Models #160-40 detailing set.

    AD&N Woodchip Gondola

    Thanks, Tyson & Tom. I still need to make a woodchip load for the gondola. In the era I am modeling, the gondolas were used for intra terminal loading from the plywood mill to the paper mill and were being replaced by the hopper cars. I plan on having a couple of each dedicated to this...
