HO FCA VersaCoil Gondola Norfolk Southern #168599 #168666 #168700 (ATHG77003)

HO VersaCoil Gondola in Norfolk Southern livery is an HO-scale coil car designed to haul steel coils using a transverse trough system that accommodates coils from 30 to 72 feet in length, enabling safer, more efficient loading and unloading in a Norfolk Southern roster on a model railroad.

For realism, the model features Phase 2 NS bodies with removable hoods, along with separate wireform grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, 100-ton roller bearing trucks with animated rotating bearing caps, plus coupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses and other hardware. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours provide smooth operation on common HO track, while body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers mirror prototype handling. The car is weighted for steady performance and tuned for a minimum 18-inch radius (22 inches recommended). VersaCoil’s transverse trough concept boosts loading efficiency and safety when handling coils of varied sizes, and each car includes removable coils and a detailed underbody with numerous extra details like etched platforms, hoses, and grab irons to capture the look of prototype equipment.
