{"product_id":"ath-1407","title":"N ATH Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola Model (ATH-1407)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eBerwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola is a detailed model freight car that recreates the classic bathtub-style gondola used for bulk cargo. The extended-side design increases interior capacity, mirroring how real cars were lengthened to carry more per trip. The model rolls on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for realistic, reliable operation. It is weighted for stable, trouble-free running and is compatible with standard track, featuring a minimum radius of 9 3\/4 inches and a recommended radius of 11 inches for best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eFor a grime-ready look, the model offers a faithful in-service appearance with faded base colors that match prototype references and provide a natural starting point for adding grime and rust. Historically, bathtub gondolas were designed to maximize cargo capacity by removing unloading gates; as fleets modernized to lighter aluminum cars, many found second lives in maintenance or other service roles. The extended-side version adds roughly 50% more volume and includes reinforcements to keep the car strong when carrying bulky loads, delivering authentic appearance along with practical capacity for model railroad layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47844032643124,"sku":"ATH-1407","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1407.jpg?v=1779965219","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1407","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
