Easterm Railroad Coal Jimmy

A very British looking car, this four wheeled coal jimmy was used by the Eastern Railroad for an unknown period of time. I say this because very little is known about these cars besides them being owned by the Eastern and one or two photographs. Because of this, I have modeled the car using no drawings, so the car may not be entirely accurate to the original, purely out of lack of information. Note that in the photograph the car is missing boards in the middle to complete it as a gondola. I have gone through the liberty of adding those boards as a separate part which will be included.

When assembling the car, use 33" wheels and Kadee No.5 couplers, you will have to supply your own coupler boxes. I used a dark brown spray paint which may not be completely accurate, but there isn't any evidence to say they weren't brown. The car is very light and will require weight on the underside.
