Two days ago I received my first ESM PRR G26 gondola, and I really like this model. It is the Shadow Keystone version and it looks great. The paint matches the Bowser Cabin Car, which means that it should be just prototypical for PRR. The design of the coupler box is similar to the IM 60' flat car, the coupler box is integrated into the car floor, which allows for a lower-riding car. I think this is a concept that should be considered by others as well. The body mounted couplers are no problems so far, as I have rather large radii. I have split the procurement, so I hope to receive some Circle Keystone cars, too, sometime in the future. This is the second new manufacturer (after the Fox Valley MILW Rib Side box cars) who came to the market with a great new model for the transition era modelers. I tried to contribute to the financial success of the projects , and hope they do so well that they will release similar transition era models in the future. For now, it is just a big "Thank You" to ESM and FVM :thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up: Have a nice Sunday everybody.
