{"product_id":"ath3891","title":"N Thrall High Side Gondola with Load NORX #3 (ATH3891)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn N-scale Thrall High-Side Gondola with NORX Load, number 3, recreates a classic coal-hauling freight car for model railroad layouts. It’s designed to be a realistic centerpiece for N-scale coal trains or yard scenes, capturing the look of mid-20th-century equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eDetails include machined metal wheels, screw-mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks, body-mounted McHenry scale operating knuckle couplers, and a separately applied brake wheel, with compatibility on Code 40, 55, and 80 rails. The model is accurately painted and printed, featuring a highly detailed injection-molded body and a weighted chassis for smooth, trouble-free operation on tight radii (minimum 9¾ inches). It’s primed for grime, offering an in-service look with faded base colors that match the prototype and providing a natural starting point for adding grime and rust. Thrall was a major freight car maker from the 1960s through the 1980s, specializing in high-side gondolas and rotary-dump coal cars; the design and history of these cars reflect a shift in coal haulage during the era, making this piece a historically grounded addition to a coal-train roster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900146696244,"sku":"ATH3891","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH3891.jpg?v=1781308738","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath3891","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
