Both the Atlantic Coast Line and the Maine Central had eight-ribbed
low-side gondolas built in the 1920s and 1930s. The cars were used
for small-volume loads of coal, gravel, sand and fabricated steel parts
that could be loaded manually due to the low height of the sides.
They also were used to transport large irregular object such as
rocks. Eventually, after forty-plus years of revenue service, many
of the cars were moved into maintenance-of-way duty. Some of the
ACL cars survived into Seaboard Coast Line.
This kit contains
polyurethane resin body parts, with both flat and corrugated ends; etched
brass faux steel and wood floor tops, brakebox, brake step, and grab
irons; brass weight; Atlas Barber S-2A friction-bearing trucks and
wheelsets; Micro-Trains® vertical and
Miner brakewheels in black and green, stirrups in black and green, diecast
fishbelly centersill, and #1015 couplers; and decals with assorted
