HO 52' Mill Gondola (ATH8182)

This HO scale, 52-foot Mill Gondola is a ready-to-run freight car designed for HO layouts. Open-top gondolas have long served railroads for hauling bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal, making them a staple in industrial scenes and yard operations, and this model captures that practical, workhorse look for authentic operation on your layout.

It features separately applied wire grab irons, body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers, and 33-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for dependable tracking on common HO track. Weighted for steady handling and finished with crisp painting and printing, the car is designed to run on HO layouts with minimum radii as tight as 18 inches. The primed-for-grime finish recreates the look of in-service equipment, fading base colors to match the prototype and providing a perfect starting point for weathering; multi-pack sets offer unique road numbers to populate a busy yard.
