Dave et al -- F&C's NYC gondola is a steel-side version of the USRA composite gondola. Many roads rebuilt or copied the USRA gon with steel sides instead of wood. FYI, AF's gondola is very similar. As for the other two carbodies, they were unique to the Erie (and its successor roads) and the PRR respectively. F&C never did the war-emergency gon in S. Nor did they do the PRR wagon-top boxcar. The latter was to have been done by them for Central Hobby in Syracuse.
