N 52' Mill Gondola DRGW #56375 (ATH-2017)

An N-scale, 52-foot Mill Gondola in DRGW livery is a ready-to-run freight car designed to bring authentic open-top gondola operation to a model railroad. Open-top gondolas like this have long served railroads for moving large, bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal, typically loaded by crane.

Designed for realistic performance, the model features body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers, metal wheel sets, and screw-mounted trucks for precise tracking. It arrives fully assembled and ready to run, with improved molded-on detail fidelity, fine-scale stirrups, and extra nut-and-bolt detailing for added realism. The car negotiates tight curves with a minimum radius of 9¾ inches, making it well suited to layouts with limited space while capturing the practical use of open-top gondolas for bulky loads.
