{"product_id":"athg78608","title":"HO NSC 6000 Gondola with Load Plastic Model (ATHG78608)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHO NSC 6000 Gondola with Load is a detailed HO-scale replica of National Steel Car’s massive 6,000-cubic-foot gondola, built to bring authentic modern roster cars to your layout. It includes a removable scrap load and a full array of prototype detailing—metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms, and precise brake piping in metal and plastic—paired with newly-tooled Barber S-2-E 100-ton trucks that feature animated bearing caps and printed road numbers. Weighing to NMRA standards for reliable, on-track performance, the car uses body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf couplers for smooth, realistic coupling, and is designed to run on minimum radii of 22 inches, with 24 inches recommended for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to faithfully mirror the NSC 6000 gondola prototype, the model delivers full brake rigging, grab irons, and etched crossover platforms in scale precision. The removable load adds a tactile, display-ready touch, while the combination of metal and plastic brake piping and robust detailing enhances on-track realism and reliability. It’s an excellent choice for HO-scale modern-era rosters, adding convincing weight, detailing, and operation to yards, sidings, and mainline runs on layouts that accommodate 24-inch curves or larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925319303220,"sku":"ATHG78608","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATHG78608.jpg?v=1782153032","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/athg78608","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
