HO Scale 52-foot Mill Gondola for NdeM is a ready-to-run open-top freight car designed for HO layouts, ideal for hauling large, bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal that are typically moved by crane.

Additional realism comes from separately applied wire grab irons, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and 33" nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation. The car is weighted for steady performance, fully assembled and ready for your layout, and finished with razor-sharp painting and printing. Multi-pack releases offer unique road numbers, and the minimum turning radius is 18 inches, making it compatible with most standard HO layouts.
