I would agree that the Lumber and Coal cars look very European to me. I think
the Gondola is kind of a tweener. Actually it is similar to my Gondola in a
few respects. Except I use more Tiles and plates instead of Bricks and mine is
a bit longer. I think the length is the only thing that is somewhat European
to me about their Gondola.
For referance here is an early picture of my Gondola. I have finished this now
although it is in Brown and has underpinnings. Just don't have a picture yet.
