{"product_id":"ath-1405","title":"N ATH Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola CTWX #2012\/2024\/2025 (ATH-1405)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola is a detailed model freight car that recreates the classic bathtub gondola used for bulk cargo on real railroads. The extended side design increases interior capacity for bulk loads, while the weighted chassis helps keep the car steady on the rails. The model rolls smoothly on standard track thanks to machined metal wheels and RP25 contours, and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. It is sized for curved tracks with a minimum radius of 9 3\/4 inches and a recommended radius of 11 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimed for grime models, the finish mirrors the look of in-service equipment, with faded base colors that provide a realistic starting point for weathering into grime and rust. Historically, bathtub gondolas offered greater capacity by omitting unloading gates, and many were later extended and reinforced to carry heavier bulk loads or repurposed for maintenance or scrap service. This extended version combines increased capacity, authentic detailing, and a weather-ready surface to help depict period bulk-cargo scenes on model railroad layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606468182068,"sku":"ATH-1405","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1405.jpg?v=1774276594","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1405","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
