I recently got interested in the subject of 'patched' freight cars - those freight cars either taken over by successors andrenumbered, or cars that have been repainted in one area and the number restencilled, so it can be read. Here is my first attempt at a patched gondola in HO. I'd be very interested in seeing other modellers examples (any scale/gauge), to get some ideas. The gondola is a detailled and weathered Roundhouse example, but I still haven't added the brake gear detail - perhaps someone can provide a photo showing the brake arrangement. Jon PS- I posted this here to get input from anyone interested, irrespective of scale/gauge
