HO FCA VersaCoil Gondola Model (ATHG77010)

VersaCoil Gondola is an HO-scale coil car engineered for efficient steel coil transport. It uses a transverse trough to hold coils ranging from 30 to 72 feet, making loading and unloading quicker and safer while keeping coils secure during transit.

Detailed realism includes separate wireform grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, 100-ton roller-bearing trucks with RP25 wheel contours, trainline hoses, brake hoses, lift bars, and hardware, all mounted on machined metal wheels with body-mounted scale-knuckle couplers and added ballast weight for smooth operation. The model is built for HO track, with a minimum radius of 18 inches and a recommended 22 inches. Variations include Phase 1 bodies without hoods and Phase 2 bodies with removable hoods; removable coil loads, detailed underbodies, etched platforms, rubber hoses, and other small details enhance the look of coil-car operations on a layout. Removable coils facilitate setup and display, reflecting the practical use of VersaCoil coil cars in real rail yards.
