Someone please help me out on when Public Utility coal gons started to appear... for all i know it could have been way back... I have some of the Roundhouse High Sided Gons and bathtubs in both BN and Utilities. I also have CNW Coalporters... and I've just seen a bunch of Atlas Public Utility high sided gons. I think that there were/are also Bethgons? The biggest quetions are 1. Did they run only in block trains (at least when new)? 2. Were they strictly dedictaed or did they travel and/or get mixed up with each other? 3. Were different types compatible with each other (provided they were the right length for the tipping gear - and the right way round for the rotary couplings)? Last but not least... 4. What types were there from c1965 to 1990 and when did they appear. that's a load of Qs... Thanks for all help![:D]
