RDG GMKa Gondola

This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

Just purchased a couple of the WalthersProto versions of this gondola. For the price I was a bit disappointed--no brake rigging. The tank, cylinder, and triple valve are there but no pipes, rods, chains or levers. I like layouts at eye level where underbody details are quite visible.

Any information on these cars? I did a quick search and found nothing. Are they even an accurate model of an RDG car?--Dave

Westerfield does a high end kit of them with all the stuff you're looking for, but till you add up parts and labor...
