Stupid Question Time.
Among other things on the to do list for the layout, I am setting up my switch list program and inputting all my rolling stock inventory into it. I've already found a whole wack of web info on Car AAR types and the appropriate info, but I am puzzled about Ore Cars. Coal, Iron Ore etc... what are they typically designated as. I've come across a couple of lists which will have a heading for Ore Cars but no AAR designation. Are they classified as a Gondola? That would be my guess,
These are the cars I have...

So what do I designate these little buggers as?
