HO 52' Mill Gondola DRGW #56377 (ATH-1982)

HO Scale 52-Foot Mill Gondola, DRGW #56377, is a detailed open-top freight car designed for hauling bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal on an HO model railroad layout.

Highlights include refined end-sheet molded-on details, improved rivet and bolt detailing, and corrected wire grab-iron placements, along with new top-chord details, jack reinforcement pad details, and coupler cut lever mounting details. The model includes separately applied wire grab irons, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for reliable operation on most HO track, and a tuned weight for optimum performance. It arrives fully assembled and ready to run, featuring razor-sharp painting and printing, and is available in multi-packs with unique road numbers. A minimum 18-inch radius accommodates a wide range of layouts. Open-top gondolas like this have long been a railroad staple for carrying bulky loads—such as coil steel or scrap metal—often loaded by crane.
