Fig. 81.—The Completed Car Truck.
Fig. 83.—A Gondola Car.
A Gondola Car, such as shown in [Fig. 83], should have its truck made similar to [Fig. 79], with the exception that it should be two inches shorter, in order that cigar-box strips can be used for the side pieces. Cut the strips an inch and one-half high and fasten them to the bed of the car with brads. This car may be used as a trailer.
The car shown in [Fig. 81] is a rather crude affair, but with a little more work may be transformed into a better looking car—
