HO NSC 6400 Gondola IWXX 220011 (ATHG76723)

HO-scale NSC 6400 Gondola car is a detailed freight model designed for realistic, modern-era railroading. Based on National Steel Car’s 6400-cubic-foot capacity gondolas introduced around 2006, these open-top cars feature fixed sides and ends with a solid bottom and are typically used in scrap-metal service. The model is built to run smoothly on standard layouts while adding authentic prototype character to a modern roster.

It reproduces nine build variations from 2006 to the present, with multiple body styles and end configurations, plus detailed top chords and ladder variations. Fine details include metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms, and precise brake piping in both metal and plastic components. Genesis roller bearing trucks with animated bearing caps, NMRA-weighted underframes, and body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf couplers help ensure reliable operation. A 22-inch minimum radius is required, with 24 inches recommended, making this gondola a versatile, highly detailed addition for modern-era freight service on typical layouts.
