HO ATH Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola CTWX #2104 (ATH-1380)

HO-scale Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola is a detailed, ready-to-run freight car that models the classic bathtub gondola used for bulk cargo. The extended side offers more interior space, mirroring the prototype’s efficiency. Weighted for smooth operation on HO layouts and equipped with body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, this model pairs realism with dependable handling as it rolls through yards and along mainlines.

Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure reliable tracking on standard HO track, while the weight helps keep the car stable through curves and switches. It is designed to run on layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius, with a 22-inch radius recommended for best clearance. The finish is primed for grime modeling, delivering a believable in-service look with faded base colors and room to weather. The bathtub gondola design boosted capacity by removing unloading gates, and extended bodies were used to carry heavier bulk loads, a heritage echoed in this model’s extended profile.
