N 52' Mill Gondola NdeM #87777 (ATH-2027)

52-foot NdeM Mill Gondola, NdeM #87777, is a finely detailed scale model of an open-top freight car designed for bulk-cargo service on a model railroad. Modeled after the Mexican National Railway's gondolas, it's ideal for hauling bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal that are typically crane-loaded on prototype lines.

Its model features include improved molded-on detail fidelity, fine-scale stirrups, and additional nut-and-bolt details for a lifelike look. It is equipped with body-mounted McHenry knuckle couplers, metal wheel sets, and screw-mounted trucks for accurate tracking, and it arrives fully assembled and ready to run on most layouts with a minimum operating radius of 9 3/4 inches. Open-top gondolas have long carried bulky loads, such as coil steel or scrap metal, making this car a versatile addition for both display and operation.
