Now it's time to see one of the best gondolas I have. This one is modern, with a load, and very well made with heft so it tends to be very stable when rolling down the line:
It's either a Lionel or MTH car. It has markings for the NY Central and, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the P & L E stands for Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Division of the NY Central.

Looks to me like an MTH RailKing gondola. They're the only commonly available gondolas in 3RO that are that low-slung. I myself have a couple, both in Southern Ry. I also have five of Lionel's humongous (by comparison) 66' mill gondolas. You can actually sit a 'traditional'-size gon completely within one of those monsters.
