N NSC 6400 Gondola with Load FWTX #620043 (ATHGN12566)

This NSC 6,400-cubic-foot gondola with load is a detailed scale model of National Steel Car’s large-capacity freight car, designed to bring authentic gondola service to a model railroad layout.

It features separately applied metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms, accurate brake piping, bent-wire coupler cut levers, and rubber train-line hoses, with a removable scrap load for added realism. The model rides on screw-mounted 100-ton roller-bearing trucks, body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf knuckle couplers, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable, prototypical operation. The injection-molded body is highly detailed, and the car is weighted for smooth handling, with paint and print work done to match the prototype. It runs on most popular track brands, with a minimum operating radius of 11 inches and a recommended radius of 15 inches.
