HO SCALE RAIL GONS

[tomustang]

The Mantua gon is sold under the Model Power name. Its probably nice for the price being half the cost of the Athearn, but with a little weathering, might be ok.

I was also wrong about the Athearn being discontinued. Looks like they re-released it last year.
Found this on Athearn sites:

So the athearn gondolas are different than the mantua/model power, the one mantua rail gon I have is a 40' high side, in fact I think it's actually 43'



the athearn is a 52'
