{"product_id":"ath-1388","title":"HO ATH Berwick Bathtub Gondola with Load, UP #35044\/35058\/35080 (ATH-1388)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eHO Scale Union Pacific Berwick Bathtub Gondola with Load is a highly realistic model of a bulk-carrier freight car for HO layouts. The bathtub gondola’s distinctive rounded body was engineered to maximize internal capacity by forgoing unloading gates, a trait faithfully reproduced here. The model includes a load to enhance realism and create a convincing bulk-cargo scene on any layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDetailing mirrors the prototype with separately applied grab irons, end ladders, and a brake wheel, and it uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling with adjacent cars. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on common HO track brands, and the car arrives weighted for steady performance. It rides on a chassis designed for flexibility with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended 22-inch radius for best handling. For weathering fans, the Primed for grime option provides an in-service look with base colors faded to match the prototype and offers an ideal starting point for adding grime and rust. Historically, bathtub gondolas increased cargo capacity per carload, a design later adapted with extensions and reinforcements to handle heavier loads as newer equipment entered service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47557145100340,"sku":"ATH-1388","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1388.jpg?v=1772828913","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1388","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
