US Gypsum (USG) Railroad gondola in HOn3, Sn3, On30, On3

Beginning in 1947 these Austin-Western air dump gondolas were built to run with Porter 1203. Having a capacity of 50 tons there were a total of 21 cars built in two groups: Group 1-16 were the original 1947 run with 5 additional cars being added in 1957.

New runs of gondolas were built in 1999 and 2000 but a few of these cars are still in service.

Our meticulously crafted models are engineered to replicate a 3' gauge prototype car with unparalleled accuracy. Each model is designed with utmost precision, reflective of the highest fidelity at the time of their unveiling. Structural elements may have been subtly augmented to enhance the robustness and durability of the printed model, executed discreetly to maintain authenticity. Given the 3' gauge foundation of these models, additional adjustments might be necessary to adapt them for narrower (n30) gauges or to navigate tighter-than-prototype curves. Should you require the model to accommodate a specific setting, we urge you to reach out to us prior to purchase, and we will be delighted to assist you to the fullest extent.
