HO 65' Mill Gondola LV #34317 (ATH-1953)

HO-scale 65-foot Mill Gondola in LV markings captures the classic 1940s steel-mill gondola designed for long, versatile shipments. First produced by General American in the early 1940s, this riveted gondola features end panels that hinge to fold inward, enabling long beams and other extra-length loads to extend beyond the car. When carrying such loads, flat cars at both ends provide the necessary clearance, a nuance faithfully reproduced in this model.

Decorated, fully assembled, and ready to run out of the box, the model includes working drop ends that fold down, separately applied wire grab irons, interior detailing, and a weighted body for stable performance. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for reliable operation. Compatible with most popular track brands, it negotiates curves as small as 18 inches in radius, making it a practical and visually faithful addition to any HO-scale freight collection.
