[CBQ] Modeling Boom Cars

["scott myers" <myers.scottv@gmail.com>]

Any suggestions on modeling an HO scale boom car #208260, the boom car used for 250 ton crane #204376 assigned to Lines East?  This appears to be a modified steel gondola, with higher sides on the center section of the car.  I have made a model of boom car #208261, which is a flatcar used with the 250 ton crane #204375 used for Lines West, but I model Lines East and crane #204376. 

These boom cars are shown in BB#18 in the article on wreckers by Hol Wagner, and there are also some photos on the BRHS website.  I had hoped that I could kitbash one using a fishbelly gondola and splice in a center section from a Railgon gondola, but the sides on this Railgon gondola are little or no taller than on the regular gondola, plus it has a straight side bottom. 

For now, I am using the flat boom car #208261 with my crane, but yeah, it bugs me to know that is incorrect.  Sometimes ignorance is bliss!

Thanks for any assistance/suggestions on this.
