I had 6 of the blue Republic steel gondolas. I cut all of them into 2 pieces. The cut was vertical at the far end of where the sides are the longest top to bottom. I then glued together long pieces to long pieces and short pieces to short pieces. Now I have 3 extra long ones and 3 extra short ones.

republic steel................blue or green hahaha
The 17000 series of gondolas made in the 90's were in most of the sets back then. You see a lot of the green BN gondola selling for $5 to $10.
Whats the most common 70 and newer 027 gondola?
