HO 65' Mill Gondola SSW #72004 (ATH-1942)

HO-scale 65-foot Mill Gondola designed for heavy steel-mill shipments, this model captures the look and function of mid-century industrial railcars built to carry long loads. It features working drop ends that fold down for easy loading, separately applied wire grab irons, interior detailing, and a weighted chassis for stable running. Decorated and fully assembled, it is ready to run on standard HO track right out of the box.

Equipped with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, it delivers reliable coupling and smooth operation across popular brands of track. The design mirrors 1940s riveted construction, including end panels that hinge inward to extend clearance for long beams and other overhanging loads; when carrying such loads, flat cars at either end are used to provide clearance. With an 18-inch minimum radius, this gondola fits neatly into compact layouts and adds a convincing industrial touch to yards and sidings.
