HO NSC 6400 Gondola Model (ATHG76709)

An HO-scale NSC 6400 gondola model—a precise 1:87 replica of National Steel Car’s 6400-cu-ft capacity, 69-foot plate-C open-top freight cars used in scrap-metal service since 2006. This Genesis-series model captures nine build variations and includes multiple body styles, end variations, top chords, and ladder configurations, giving modern HO rosters authentic prototypical diversity.

Detail highlights include metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms where applicable, and accurate brake piping in metal and plastic. Genesis roller bearing trucks with realistic bearing caps ride on a NMRA-weighted chassis for reliable operation, and body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf couplers ensure smooth coupling in long trains. Designed for HO layouts with a minimum 22-inch radius (24 inches recommended for best performance), this gondola delivers true-prototype detail and versatility for scrap-metal service scenes or mixed freight rosters.
