On to a model building subject: I noted a reference to an interesting article on another list:
http://www.trainlife.com/articles/132/modeling-a-well-used-gondola The article starts with an HO P2K gondola model. You could start with the AM 50ft gondola, or (given how much is replaced in the conversion) probably just scratch-build the whole car without a lot more work. The car in the example is modern, but steam era gons were about as beat up, especially in scrap metal service. Also please take a look at the Amity Star Wabash boxcar photos Robert Hall linked yesterday. He has done an excellent job on the kit we were discussing a couple of days ago.
