31 ft Wooden Gondola. how i got it licked.

[dudley]

Well to be fair the Grandchildren got it licked, the lollies that is, because i made this from looly sticks and Bass wood.
the model is based on a diagram found in the Narrow Gauge and short line gazette 1997, a Ohio River & Western Gondolas numbers 801-820. 19 were built in the shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad during 1913 and 1914. Now the Twentieth has been built for the Misty Mountain Railroad.

Ooooh now that is a nice piece of modelling Dud.
Gondola...lollies...I can feel a song coming on....."Just one Cornetto, ....give it to me, delicious ice cream (okay I have stretched the point here), ....from Italy.
Will you be treating it with a dose of preservative? I use Cuprinol 5 star.. a bit over the top but sometimes I forget to bring me wooden stuff indoors.....
