Question on Tichy Train Group Composite Gondola

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I am looking to kitbash a car and would like to use the Tichy Train Group 50’ composite side gondola. Can anyone tell me if the “wood” sides are a separate casting from the “steel” supports or are the sides all one casting?

Thanks

Rick

The Tichy sides are all one moulding.

The shorter Red Caboose kit has a seperate laser-cut wood side, which slots into the steel supports.

Jon, thanks for the quick response. I have the Red Caboose 40’ gondola and was hoping the Tichy cars were along the same lines. I’ll see what other options I have.
