NSC 6400 Gondola with Load WCTX #526 571 (ATHGN12570)
The NSC 6,400-cubic-foot Gondola Car with Load is a detailed HO-scale freight model that recreates National Steel Car’s large-capacity gondolas first produced in 2006. It captures the prototype’s scale and authentic detailing, including separately applied metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms, accurate brake piping, bent wire cut levers, rubber train-line hoses, and a removable scrap load for added realism on modern layouts.
Designed for reliable operation, the car rides on screw-mounted 100-ton roller-bearing trucks and body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf knuckle couplers, with machined metal wheels in RP25 contours for smooth running on most track brands. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and finished with accurate painting, while the model is weighted for stability. It operates on all popular track brands, with a minimum radius of 11 inches and a recommended radius of 15 inches for best performance, and the removable scrap load enhances display and operating scenarios.
