PRR 343432
 
50-foot composite gondola w/drop ends, Pennsylvania (PRR 343432).  I kitbashed this gondola in conjunction with an article I wrote for the January/February 1994 issue of N Scale magazine.  The car was lowered to a more prototypical height above the rails.  I body-mounted the couplers and added low flange wheelsets.  The wheel faces, trucks, stirrups and couplers were painted tuscan red to match the color of the carbody.  The car was weathered with a wash of rust and grime.
