N ATH Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola Model (ATH-1408)

An N-scale Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola—an authentic freight car model that reproduces the extended bathtub design used for bulk cargo. Available as a standard single-car model or as a JAMX three-car set, it’s ideal for adding realistic bulk-haul capacity to an N-scale roster.

Designed for reliable operation, the model is weighted for smooth performance and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for authentic coupling. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth running on most track brands, and the car provides a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches with 11 inches recommended for best results. The finish is grime-ready, offering a faithful in-service look and a solid base for weathering rust and grime. Historically, bathtub gondolas were built to maximize payload by removing unloading gates; as fleets evolved, many continued in service in various roles, including maintenance of way and scrap service, with extensions added to increase volume and reinforce the structure.
