Missouri Pacific panel side gondola

	This car has been modeled numerous times from the Suncoast wood "craftsnan" kit to an early Sunshine Models resin kit to this 2nd generation of F&C's version. It came as a "flat" kit (sides and ends separate) but the benefit was that they were able to model the interior detail which is probably too deep for a 1 piece resin mold. Obviously I want to run it empty or with a load that allows the interior detail to show thus I milled car wheel weights to the depth of the underframe members and cut pieces to fit between them.
