N 52' Mill Gondola D&RGW #310815 (ATH6625)

This N-scale 52-foot mill gondola reproduces a D&RGW open-top freight car and is designed to haul bulky loads on a model railroad, such as coil steel or scrap metal. It’s a ready-to-run model that captures the look and proportions of a real gondola for convincing, in-scale operations on your layout.

For smooth, dependable running, it features body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, metal wheelsets, and screw-mounted trucks for accurate tracking, and arrives fully assembled. New features include improved molded-on detail fidelity, fine-scale stirrups, and added nut-and-bolt details to boost realism. It’s primed for grime weathering, with faded base colors matched to the prototype, making it an ideal starting point for adding rust and weathering. With a minimum radius of 18 inches, it fits most mid-to-large layouts, and open-top gondolas like this have long carried bulky loads—often loaded by crane—such as coil steel or scrap metal.
