{"product_id":"ath-1421","title":"N ATH Berwick Bathtub Gondola with Load (ATH-1421)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBerwick Bathtub Gondola with Load is a detailed model freight car that recreates the distinctive bathtub-style gondola used for hauling bulk cargo on historic railways. Its tub-shaped interior and the absence of unloading gates were designed to maximize capacity, a hallmark that makes it a realistic centerpiece for bulk-haul scenes on a layout. The model nods to the car’s long service life, with many examples repurposed as railroads updated their fleets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn the rails, this model is built for reliable operation with weight that promotes steady handling, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours to roll on most track brands. It supports tight curves with a minimum radius of 9 3\/4 inches and a recommended radius of 11 inches, making it versatile for compact or expansive layouts. A Primed for Grime version recreates the look of in-service equipment, featuring faded base colors matched to the prototype and providing a ready starting point for adding grime and rust. Historically, bathtub gondolas were extended and reinforced to boost capacity for bulk loads, a detail that adds realism for dioramas and layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47844053811252,"sku":"ATH-1421","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-1421.jpg?v=1779965544","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-1421","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
