O scale VGN Battleship Gons

[NW Modeling List]

Jim K and others

I would be cautious about jumping in with reservations until we can get more information from Scott Mann.  

There are multiple classes of VGN gons; all are somewhat similar.  However the C&O car is structurally different, has different dimensions in length width, and height.   It also has completely different trucks and brake arrangement.  

Rich Yoder made all the VGN versions in brass.  IF the C&O car had been even close to them, they would have been imported at the same time.  The Yoder cars are exquisite, my wife bought at least 8.  I understand that the GGD price is about 30% of a single RYM model. 

I am very concerned that we will presented with a "generic" car that does not accurately represent ANY of the prototype cars.
