Thank you for the link. I did check it out. Just not sure right now if I want to join. Nothing at all against the SCL/SAL/ACL folks, but my experiences with other historical societies in the past were not great.

Well done! Some very good modeling there. Also picked up a tip on how to round hopper/gon side stakes. Worth every penny! :-)
I'm a closet SAL fan and have a small collection of diesels. As a kid around 1968 I planned a rail trip to visit an uncle in Florida. Took the new Metroliner to DC and the Silver Meteor to Jacksonville via Raleigh, Silver Star via Savannah on the return. The nice folks at the SCL ticket office in Manhattan helped me arrange a tour of SCL's Jacksonville-area facilities. A none-too-thrilled railroad cop was assigned to meet me at the station and chauffeur me around. Unfortunately I had set the light meter wrong and everything was about two stops underexposed. Might be able to salvage some of it with today's software.

The Seaboard Coast Line Modeler issue is great -- thanks to the railroad historical group for making the current one available to non-members on line. I haven't been south of Greensboro, NC, on the East Coast of the US, or in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana or Arkansas. But I'm fond of the Seaboard and moderately so of the ACL, less so of the SCL, largely because its name seems oxymoronic. The SAL had an incredible number of paint schemes on its boxcars, rivaling the Santa Fe. It served many furniture factories in the Piedmont, which theoretically could have shipped their products to the Portage Provision Co. (a flat) at Horicon on my Champlain & Hudson; I have quite a few SAL boxcars on my roster, along with a low-side gon and an 65'6" mill gon loaded with telephone poles and a 40' flatcar carrying a boat, plus a cylindrical covered hopper. I liked the ACL's "pretty purple pullers" and have a heavyweight baggage car and a 50' welded express reefer in the same livery, along with a watermelon car -- those ran on the Northeast Corridor at least into the 1950s -- , a 40' modernized boxcar and a 50' black PS-1 boxcar with Another Cushioned Load slogan.
P.S. I thought the SAL's best looking diesel livery was the "citrus" scheme used on E units.

SCL618: Wow, that gondola looks fantastic! Mark J. I agree, would love some more info! That would be an SCL Class G-5 Gondola...all 1746 cu. ft. of it. As mentioned in the current issue (#33), the scratch(?) build of this car will be covered in a later (2025) issue. If there's a Craftsman kit of this car offered, my, and several other folks, wallet will not be safe. Thanks, SCL618, for the extra photos! [ ... I'm almost drooling...] |

Yes, indeed that is the Plate C Model Products SCL G-5. It has been available from 3D Central for a couple of weeks. The upcoming issue of the S-CLM will showcase the prototype and build.
