N 52' Mill Gondola SLSF #65169 (ATH6628)

This N-scale 52-foot mill gondola in SLSF livery is a detailed, ready-to-run model of an open-top freight car used to haul bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal, typically loaded by crane on real railroads.

Realism is enhanced with improved molded-on detail fidelity, fine-scale stirrups, and added nut-and-bolt detailing. The car rides on metal wheel sets with body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers and screw-mounted trucks for smooth, reliable tracking, and it ships fully assembled for immediate placement on a layout. A minimum radius of 18 inches keeps it compatible with a wide range of layouts. Primed for grime, the model offers a convincing in-service look with faded base colors and serves as a natural starting point for weathering grime and rust. Open-top gondolas like this have long been a mainstay for carrying large loads such as coil steel or scrap metal loaded by crane.
