In the interest of full disclosure, while the Ulrich model is a GS gondola, it
is not very close to the C&S cars. Given the lack of an accurate C&S-style GS
gon, the Ulrich GS makes an adequate stand-in, as does the Detail Associates
steel-sided GS model.

Ulrich made a cast metal GS gon lettered C&S(#17237).
Accurail also did a six pack of C&S hoppers, later scheme. Yesteryear
Models did a C&S hopper but duplicated an Accurail no.
There is a partial view of a C&S Gondola on Denver Public Library
collection call number RR-1235.
