HO 65' Mill Gondola SP #160605 (ATH-1940)

HO-scale 65-foot Mill Gondola for Southern Pacific. This detailed freight car is designed to handle long steel-mill loads that require extra length and flexible end geometry. It features working drop ends that fold down to clear overhanging cargo, mirroring the original 1940s General American design used for long beams and other oversized loads that often required flatcars at both ends for clearance.

Decorated, fully assembled and ready to run out of the box, this model rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on most popular brands of track. It features separately applied wire grab irons, interior detailing, and a weighted body for stability, plus body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. The highly detailed injection-molded body captures the look of a 1940s mill gondola, and the minimum radius is 18 inches, making it a practical addition to a wide range of HO layouts.
