Lionel has a New Haven PS-5 Standard 'O' gondola. (6-17472) I am "lost" in an 'O27' world.
Would you know if Lionel ever made an 'O27' New Haven gondola. (Lionel Tech could not answer the question.........Should have known better than to ask them!)
As always, thanks.

Frank53: Thanks. Guess I'll stick with the box cars.
PS. If you had to choose between the two NH tankers (26177 or 26167) which one would you go with? (Personally, I like the all black 26167) Thanks again.

Great idea! BUT, if you ever saw what this "older" guy does when he gets his hands on a paint brush, you would never call it "fun" (especially the clean-up). Have been advised....no warned...not to try any "paint" projects within eyesight of the 'chief engineer'
If anyone were interested in the ATLAS O Industrial Rail Line they could wait until Autumn and get the O Gauge New Haven Gondola in the Pennsylvania Train Set.

This New Haven Gondola might be what you need.

The Industrial Rail O27 Gondola is part of a set, but this set will match the time period of most of the rest of the layout. It is aimed towards the Post-War Lionel operators. If you only need the New Haven Gondola, you could try trading and bartering parts of the set for something more appropriate. Perhaps some retailer will offer a set break-up.
I would think that Atlas would offer these as single cars when they start to produce them. They even list a catalog number for it in the set contents section.
