What would the total weight be in the gondola of 10 loaded containers?. What I recall about those Pennsy containers was the use of a shorter gondola. I'm recalling the 30's and the yard area around the Pennsy freight house in Columbus Ohio.

Since the AF gondola is shorter than most other S scale gondolas, I would think a set should be at least 12. Does 10 of them fill a Rex gondola, or would one of those need 12 as well? How many will fit in an AM gon? I suppose one could order two sets in order to have enough to fill one gon, but that leaves 8 left over for the scrap box, which seems kind of wasteful...
