N NSC 6400 Gondola with Load CIGX 801872 (ATHGN12563)

An N-scale NSC 6400 Gondola with Load is a detailed model of National Steel Car’s large 6,400-cubic-foot gondola, designed to add authentic, modern freight capacity to an N-scale layout. It includes a removable scrap load to reproduce real-world loading and unloading scenes and to enhance display on the railroad.

Beyond its scale-accurate silhouette, the model features separately applied metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms, and accurate brake piping in both metal and plastic components. Bent wire coupler cut levers and rubber train-line hoses add further realism. The car rides on screw-mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks, with body-mounted McHenry lower shelf knuckle couplers, and sits on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. The injection-molded body is highly detailed, and the finish is carefully painted and printed for prototypical realism. Weighted for steady operation, it runs on all popular brands of track, with a minimum radius of 11 inches and a recommended radius of 15 inches.
