HO 52' Mill Gondola D&RGW #310815 (ATH8183)

This HO-scale 52-foot Mill Gondola in Denver & Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) livery is an open-top freight car designed for bulk loads such as coil steel or scrap metal, typically loaded by crane.

With refined end-sheet molded details, improved rivet and bolt detailing, corrected wire grab-iron placements, and updated top-chord and jack reinforcement pad details, this model also features separately applied wire grab irons and body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers. It rolls on 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for compatibility with most HO track brands and is weighted for smooth, realistic operation. Fully assembled and ready to run, it offers razor-sharp painting and printing with a minimum 18-inch radius for easy handling on common layouts. Primed for grime models, it delivers the in-service look with faded base colors and provides the ideal starting point for adding grime and rust. Open-top gondolas have long been a railroad staple for hauling bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal, typically loaded by crane.
