N ATH Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola (Set of 3) (ATH-1409)

Berwick Bathtub Extended Side Gondola cars — a three-pack of model freight cars that replicate the classic bathtub gondola design used to haul bulk cargo. The extended side configuration increases interior capacity, mirroring how these cars carried larger loads, while weighted construction helps ensure stable, trouble-free operation. They feature body-mounted scale-knuckle couplers for realistic handling and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours to roll smoothly on most track brands. The set is built for practical operation on typical layouts, with a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches and a recommended radius of 11 inches.

Primed for grime models, these cars reproduce the in-service look with base colors faded to match prototype practice, providing a ready starting point for adding grime and rust. The bathtub gondola design originated to maximize cargo capacity, and extensions later increased volume and reinforced the cars for heavier, bulkier loads. This three-pack gives a versatile bulk-cargo fleet that works well with other rolling stock on standard layouts.
