This is my loaded version of the D&RG Class 10 15-ton gondola coal car. The gondola sides were removed and reinstalled frequently thus the "Gondola" was often seen as a "Flat Car". The prototype cars were built with link & pin couplers, spoked wheels, and manual brakes and were later rebuilt to the modeled configuration. A flat car and an empty version of this car is also available for download

I am deeply indebted to many individuals who helped and encouraged me in this project. Capt Bazza and Tim Muir provided advice and encouragement, Herb Kelsey and Tom Werb tested the cars as well as giving much advice and encouragement, and special thanks go to Howard Saunders who did the initial testing, debugging, and tweaking as well as working with me to resolve the many problems that arose. Howard also loaded the coal onto this car. My thanks also go to any others that helped me along the way.

Please feel free to point out any defects and give suggestions for possible improvement of this model.

Hope you enjoy it, Bill
