This is Fox Valley Models 30401 HO Silverside Coal Gondola, SOU #1009. Transporting coal on the railways has been around as long as the railways. Two major types of cars emerged for hauling coal; hoppers and gondolas. The earlier cars were made of wood, then steel, and later aluminum. The lighter weight of aluminum allows greater lading and cubic foot capacities ideal for bulk minerals transport. By the 1980s, both coal hoppers and coal gondolas were using aluminum bodies in their construction. Features separate brake wheel with etched-metal brake platforms, underbody detail and optional interior bracing. Included is side bracing to detail specific cars. Car is weighted to run long empty trains and has free rolling metal wheels.
