    This series of cars was built from 52 of the 60000-60299 gondolas, which were built during 1930. The bulk head flats were built in four groups:
    4000-4024, 1952,
    4025-4040, 1953,
    4041-4045, 1956,
    4046-4051, 1958.

    Based on the photo in Molo's book, and my interpretation of the drawing...

    1. Side sill
    2. Solid
    3. The floor extends to the end sill.

    With having to do much custom painting and lettering in G scale, Nick's book is like the Frisco bible!! Still have to compromise in certain area's, but it helps get as close as possible. ENJOY!!!!
