D&RGW High Side Gondolas Announced:

Between 1898 and 1906, The Denver & Rio Grande Western purchased approximately
1300 narrow gauge gondolas from American Car and Foundry.

The gondolas presented here represent these cars after the 1920's rebuild and will be
equipped with the cast "economy" draft gear design, varying paint shades and unique
detailing in both weathered and non-weathered versions.

Blackstone has used a combination of plastic and die-cast parts to create a thoughtfully
weighted and balanced car that will cut into virtually any consist and run in the same smooth-rolling manner to which Blackstone Models customers have become accustomed.
