[@erictrainman]

Thank you for watching!

[@mslickstrains]

That’s a sweet car Eric!

[@erictrainman]

Thought so too! Thanks

[@ReaPer_INNOVATIONS]

3rd rail really comes out with cool stuff can’t wait for the new sc44 chargers

[@erictrainman]

Agreed, it’s a nice change

[@rick1716]

Very nice review of 3rd rail’s version of this coal gondola.

[@erictrainman]

Thank you! Very happy with the car

[@ZainesElectricTrainz]

Great review, beautiful layout btw

[@erictrainman]

Thank you! Hoping to do a layout video soon

[@GoldStandardTrains]

Was wondering if anyone else got these. Picked up 2 myself. I was a little underwhelmed honestly for the price you pay, but that'll happen sometimes. But it is a unique piece so I find some value in that.

[@erictrainman]

For me the value is in the uniqueness of it. I thought the quality was great, has all the details from the prototype. Agreed the price is steep so just got one

[@railking61]

Picked up seven of these with the coal loads, 4 Virginian and 3 C&O. These are great but they were very expensive IMHO.

[@erictrainman]

I don’t disagree. But cool to have one

[@trainwreckslayout2597]

Imagine and drag of just those.

[@erictrainman]

$$$

[@henryszubielski8601]

That is a very nice looking car. I like it! (On a different note, what is the Reading G series Pacific on the shelf?) Thanks forcsharing Eric!

[@erictrainman]

Thank you! That’s an SGL Reading G class. Conventional for now but one day it’ll get upgraded. I have the weaver version also that’s being upgraded now

[@henryszubielski8601]

@@erictrainman Nice! I also have the SGL G3, both road numbers. One is modified with PS2, the other is still conventional. Additionally, I have a set of SGL passenger cars.

[@erictrainman]

@@henryszubielski8601 that’s great! The SGL passenger cars are amazing, I hope to find them one day

[@DynamicDuo795]

Great video! Those gondola's look great. Is the coal load plastic or real coal?

[@erictrainman]

Thanks Alex. I’ll check the coal load, looks real

[@valchavez9163]

What I want to know how do they get the coal out.......there aren't any doors underside...??????

[@erictrainman]

The coal load pops out from the top

[@valchavez9163]

0h....how much is this car..?

[@erictrainman]

They’re not cheap. About $150
