Specific Item Information: Both the Atlantic Coast Line and the Maine Central had eight-ribbed low-side gondolas built in the 1920s and 1930s. The cars were used for small-volume loads of coal, gravel, sand and fabricated steel parts that could be loaded manually due to the low height of the sides. They also were used to transport large irregular object such as rocks. Eventually, after forty-plus years of revenue service, many of the cars were moved into maintenance-of-way duty. Some of the ACL cars survived into Seaboard Coast Line.

Road Name History: Although they may be molded in color, unpainted and unlettered, undecorated products are marketed to modelers who seek to custom decorate their models for private roads and/or road and/or company names that were not commercially produced by any of the major manufacturers.
Undecorated models are frequently also unassembled or only partially assembled and required modelers to be comfortable with glue, paint and sometimes solder in order to prepare their models for display. Materials for these models can vary but often include plastic, pewter and resin. Models may or may not come with decals or other decorations such as plastic signage, railings and ladders to enhance the appearance of the final product.
