N 65' Mill Gondola SSW #72004 (ATH-2002)

The N 65' Mill Gondola, identified as SSW #72004, is a meticulously designed model that reflects the robust construction typical of these freight cars. Originating in the early 1940s, mill gondolas like this one were specifically created for transporting heavy materials, particularly from steel mills. This model showcases accurate painting and printing, ensuring a lifelike appearance suitable for any N scale layout.

Featuring a weighted die-cast body and underframe, the gondola operates smoothly and reliably on code 55 and 80 rail. Its structure includes interior detailing and Bettendorf trucks, both of which enhance the overall experience of using this model. The gondola is fully assembled and ready to run out of the box, making it a great addition for hobbyists looking for convenience and quality. Additional features include a separately applied brake wheel, screw-mounted trucks with machined metal wheels, and body-mounted McHenry operating knuckle couplers, providing excellent functionality.
