N ATH Berwick Bathtub Gondola with Load PRAX Primed For Grime (ATH-1425)

Berwick Bathtub Gondola with Load, Primed for Grime is a detailed scale-model freight car that recreates the classic bathtub gondola used for bulk cargo. This Primed for Grime edition features a weathered base finish that mirrors an in-service car, providing a ready-made canvas for adding grime and rust to fit a particular era.

Designed for reliable operation on model layouts, the car is weighted for trouble-free handling and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for realistic connections. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours roll smoothly on most track brands, delivering dependable performance on a wide range of layouts. It requires a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches, with a recommended radius of 11 inches to ensure smooth running. The Primed for Grime variant duplicates the look and feel of equipment in service, with faded base colors that serve as an ideal starting point for weathering. Historically, bathtub gondolas were built to maximize interior capacity for bulk loads, a heritage reflected in this model while remaining adaptable for modern layouts.
