HO RTR 65'6" Mill Gondola (ATH82966)

HO-scale 65-foot 6-inch Mill Gondola is a ready-to-run freight car designed for steel-mill service, giving you the ability to handle extra-long, heavy loads on an HO layout.

Features include working drop ends that fold inward to accommodate overhanging loads, separately applied wire grab irons, interior detailing, and a highly detailed injection-molded body. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on most HO track, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers provide reliable, prototypical coupling. Decorated models arrive fully assembled and ready to run, with an 18-inch minimum radius to fit a wide range of layouts. The design traces back to early-1940s General American mill gondolas built for steel shipments needing extra length, with riveted construction and hinged end panels that let long beams extend beyond the car length; when carrying such loads, flat cars at both ends are used to clear the overhang.
