HO 65' Mill Gondola SP #160577 (ATH-1939)
HO scale 65-foot Mill Gondola in Southern Pacific livery is a detailed model of the long-load freight cars used by steel mills. Based on a 1940s General American design, it features riveted construction and hinged end panels that fold inward to accommodate extra-long loads, letting long beams and other oversized cargo extend beyond the car length.
This decorated model arrives fully assembled and ready to run on HO track. It includes working drop ends, separately applied wire grab irons, interior detailing, and a weighted chassis for steady handling. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide realistic coupling, while machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on most brands of track. The minimum turning radius is 18 inches, and the end panels can fold inward to clear overhanging loads, a feature that mirrors the prototype’s need for flatcars at both ends for certain long shipments.
