Looking for Plans and data for P&LE 66'-3" Gondolas

[tillamook]

I'm considering to scratchbuild one or two of the Portland & Western's Gondolas. As far as my research goes these gons were made for the P&LE by the Penn Central Despatch shops in 1968, where they hat the numbers 15000 to 15249, which the Willamette & Pacific seems to have kept.

Now I'm searching for scale drawings and further information on these. I thought I'd found what I'm looking for in a Railmodel Journal [Railroad Model Craftsman october 2019] issue but it turned out to be a 65-foot gon with different sides. [the 16000 series]

Maybe there are drawings in the book "Freight Car Equipment of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Volume 1 : P&LE's Gondola Cars", but the price tag including shipping is to steep just for guessing.

Since there are quite a number of PC/PRR enthusiasts around here, perhaps somebody can help me out or give me directions where to gather mor information.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

In the meantime, I was able to snatch this pic from Ebay: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/toUAAOSwNc1c3x33/s-l1600.jpg
Those two should be a good base to start from. However, a scan of this page would be highly appreciated.

Bumping this just because why not. A good scan of page 23 would be highly appreciated.
