{"product_id":"ath8178","title":"HO 52' Mill Gondola GONX #1 (3) (ATH8178)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO-scale 52-foot mill gondola in the GONX class is an open-top freight car designed for HO layouts to haul bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal. It captures the look of real in-service gondolas, adding authentic industrial character to freight trains on your layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eNew features include refined end-sheet molded-on details, improved rivet and bolt detailing, corrected wire grab-iron placements, updated top-chord details, revised jack reinforcement pad details, and new coupler cut-lever mounting. The model comes with separately applied wire grab irons, body-mounted scale knuckle couplers, and 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours that run smoothly on most HO track. It is weighted for steady operation, fully assembled and ready to run, with razor-sharp painting and printing. Multi-packs offer unique road numbers, and the finish is primed for grime, providing a realistic starting point to weather and age the car. Open-top gondolas have long served real railroads for bulky loads—such as coil steel or scrap metal—loaded by crane, making this car a natural fit for industrial or yard scenes, and its 18-inch minimum radius helps it perform on layouts with tighter curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47557102600244,"sku":"ATH8178","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH8178.jpg?v=1772827199","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath8178","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
