HO NSC 6400 Gondola CWSX 140007 (ATHG76711)

HO-scale NSC 6400 Gondola in CWSX markings is a detailed model recreating National Steel Car’s 6400 cubic-foot capacity gondolas used in scrap-metal service. Introduced starting in 2006, these 69-foot plate cars feature fixed sides and ends with a solid bottom, and they operate across North America as single cars or in long blocks. The model captures the rugged open-top silhouette and prototype detailing, including the cranes and magnet-equipped loading typical of real service.

The Genesis-range model reproduces nine build variations from 2006 to present, along with multiple body styles, end variations, top chords, and ladder configurations. Separate details such as brake rigging, metal grab irons, and etched crossover platforms are faithfully represented, as is accurate brake piping. Genesis roller bearing trucks with animated bearing caps ride on the rails, and the car is weighted to NMRA standards for reliable operation. Body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf couplers aid smooth connections to other cars, and the model is designed for minimum curves of 22 inches, with 24 inches recommended for best performance.
