HO 52' Mill Gondola GTW #148007 (ATH-1987)
HO Scale 52-foot Mill Gondola in GTW livery is a ready-to-run model designed to haul large, bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal on industrial sidings and yards. Open-top gondolas have long been a mainstay on railroads for this kind of work, and this car captures that essential role with a prototypical profile and crisp, realistic paint.
Key modeling details include refined end-sheet molded-on details, improved rivet and bolt detailing, and corrected wire grab-iron placements, along with new top-chord details, jack reinforcement pad details, and coupler cut lever mounting hardware for a sharper, more prototypical silhouette. The car rides on 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for smooth, reliable operation on most HO tracks. It is weighted for optimum performance, fully assembled and ready to run, with razor-sharp painting and printing. Multi-packs offer unique road numbers, and a minimum radius of 18 inches keeps this gondola friendly to compact layouts.
