Hi all,
These little 12' gondola are one of those 'in-the-field' conversions from a 12' flat car. Used mainly for local deliveries to a small township or rural area.
There's no dumping mechanism and all unloading was done manually with the proverbial 'acre spoon'. (Shovel)
The box is merely a 9'x7'x3' high structure and didn't hold all that much of a load. Still, a very dirty job, indeed.
Well, after all, it was in the 1800s...

This download will net you two cars as a set, each in their own folders, and you may install either or both as you wish. (One empty, one loaded.)
The empty version is shown here. The loaded version has a full coal load texture on it.
(Poly count is around 8,000)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Just unzip RAHGONSET.ZIP right into your TRAINSET folder if you'd like both cars installed. Otherwise, unzip to a temp folder to drag & drop the car of your choice into your TRAINSET folder.
