The original 1995 issue of Walthers 53-foot Thrall Gondola kits came in two bodystyles (corrugated- or smooth-side) selling
for $10.98 each. Six roadnames made up the first release with the UP and ATSF examples produced with the corrugated sides;
the smooth side cars were SP, CNW, DRGW, and CSX. Walthers offered Undec examples in both bodystyles. The prototype dates
to the late 1960s and was produced by Thrall. The corrugated side was a development to increase the cars strength and reduce
damage from loads. Six new roads are added in Walthers' 1997 catalog: Wisconsin Central, Bessemer & Lake Erie, Grand Trunk
Western, Katy, Soo-CP, and BN.
