60' GN Flat with Large Pipe Load


The BPRR gondola has a David J Joseph logo.   The David J Joseph Company recycles used railroad items,  so this load is old wheels and some broken truck parts.

This CNW gondola is loaded with a "kit" of ties for a number 20 mainline crossover, to connect a doubletrack mainline with mains on 14.5 ft. track centers.  (Approximately 2 inches on centers in HO scale)

CNW gon with No. 20 Xover tie "kit"

The ties include 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 24.5 ft long 7"x9" as well as the 10, 11 and  14 ft specially tapered ties 10" to 8" x 10" which comprise the top layer.  The bill of material is derived from UP standards.
