HO 52' Mill Gondola CRLE #3178 (ATH-1872)

HO-scale 52-foot Mill Gondola in CRLE markings is an open-top freight car designed to haul bulky loads like coil steel or scrap metal on HO layouts, bringing an authentic industrial vibe to yards and industrial scenes.

Improvements include refined end-sheet molded-on details, updated rivet and bolt detail, and corrected wire grab-irons, along with new top-chord and jack reinforcement pad details and coupler mounting features. The model rides on 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on most HO track and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. It is weighted for stable performance, fully assembled and ready to run, with razor-sharp painting and printing, and available in multi-packs that offer unique road numbers. The minimum radius is 18 inches, and open-top gondolas like this are ideal for carrying bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal loaded by crane.
