HO 52' Mill Gondola DRGW #56375 (ATH-1981)

An HO-scale 52-foot Mill Gondola painted for the Denver & Rio Grande Western and numbered 56375, this open-top freight car is designed to carry bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal on HO layouts.

Built for realistic operation, it features refined end-sheets, improved rivet and bolt detailing, corrected wire grab-iron placements, and new top-chord and jack reinforcement details. It rides on 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers; it is fully assembled and weighted for stable, reliable performance, with razor-sharp painting and printing. Multi-packs offer unique road numbers, and the car requires a minimum 18-inch radius. The open-top gondola design is ideal for representing bulky loads lifted by crane on model railroads.
