Well waiting for our baby which is now 3 days late I started brainstorming
about a new car design to go along with my boxcars.  I decided to try a Gondola
and threw together this prototype last night.

It is far from finished but before I continue and try to get the parts needed
to finish the car I thought I would ask to see what others thought about the
car.  I think it gets the point across but I don't know about much more than

Anyway I just wanted to get a few thoughts.

Hey, looks great Eric, except for the *&%# buffers (my favorite pet peeve- buffers
on US cars)  That is, unless you are *trying* to model eurotrash....

BTW, enjoy the last few minutes of life as you know it-- it will be forever
changed as soon as Eric Jr (or Erica) arrives:-)
