HO 52' Mill Gondola (CP #330913/330917/330920) Model (ATH-1998)

HO 52' Mill Gondola is a faithful HO-scale reproduction of Canadian Pacific's 52-foot open-top gondolas, designed to depict bulk loads such as coil steel or scrap metal loaded by crane on a modern layout. Fully assembled and ready to run, this model features sharp painting and printing that capture the car's rugged, industrial character and pairs well with standard HO-track setups.

Its detailing includes refined end-sheet details, improved rivet and bolt detailing, corrected wire grab-iron placements, and updated top-chord and jack reinforcement pad details, along with new coupler-cut-lever mounting details. The model also features separately applied wire grab irons, body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, and 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on common HO track. Weighted for stability and finished with sharp painting and printing, it is designed for a minimum 18-inch radius on layouts, and multi-packs offer unique road numbers to diversify a fleet. Open-top gondolas have long served railroads for bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal, a practical nod to the car's real-world role.
