Jace, Just as info, the Wisconsin Central/Regal gondola kit was mistakenly
produced in standard gon width. I built one of these way back when first
getting into S around 1965. I recall using the sanding sealer, etc and filling
the hollow center sill with weights. It wasn't until years later that I
realized the width discrepancy.
The kit could be narrowed to proper width easy enough before assembly and if
doing it today, I would either use thin styrene as an overlay (or just replace
the wood altogether) on the sides and use Evergreen styrene for ribs with
Archer rivets on the flanges.
One very neat feature of this kit was the fact that the ends could be made
removable, in the event that one wanted to add an extended I beam load with
idler flats.
