Canadian Pacific big Otis gondolas

[orsonroy]

RMC had a three-part article on these cars, including plans and a modeling guide (that's where F&C got their plans; most F&C kits started as RMC plans). Go the magazine index above and do a keyword search on OTIS; you'll find what you're looking for.

Anyone know where I can find plans and drawing for the CPR big Otis gondola cars????/

Rensselaer Model Railroad Shop (RPI Student Union) Troy, NY produced a Funaro & Camerlengo cast resin kit for the CPR Big Otis. The kit drawing plan views are detailed although without dimensions.

It's a challenging kit to assemble, needs lots of time and patience but the result is a good looking heavy duty gondola.

I've built the first of two that I found through a web search, assembly of the second kit awaits my finding that time and patience.
