Long ago I built the boom tender using an Athearn 50' gon. Using the Bulletin pictures for a guide I cut the sides to represent the openings and built up the center storage box using styrene. Some square covered hopper hatches were used for the side access doors and I added wire grabs and rails. The boom cradle was built using Plastruct shapes. Overall I think it turned out well, but by todays standards it would probably garner a few snickers, but it has the right feel. Doing it over I would probably use a longer Tangent gon and smaller structural shapes. Thanks!

Maybe later I will modify a gondola, which would be more accurate for the 250 ton cranes per the photos I have seen. However, in BB#18, page 56 shows what appears to be a flat car as the boom car for 204375.
