N FCA VersaCoil Gondola NS #168592 (ATHGN13742)

VersaCoil Gondola NS 168592 is a detailed scale model of a versatile coil-car freight car designed to haul coils ranging from 30 to 72 feet in a single transverse trough. The NS Phase 2 variant features removable hoods for added authenticity and flexibility on layouts spanning different eras.

It rides on screw-mounted 100-ton roller-bearing trucks with body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth, realistic operation on most tracks. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and accurately painted, and it is weighted for steady handling and stable running. The model supports a minimum radius of 11 inches (with a recommended radius of 15 inches) and operates on all popular brands of track. Removable coils are included, along with detailed underbodies and fine exterior features such as etched metal platforms, rubber train-line hoses, coupler-cut levers, and metal grab irons; prototype variations may include removable hoods. VersaCoil cars were developed to carry coils of various sizes in a transverse trough design to improve loading efficiency and protect coils during transit, and this replica captures elements from four of the five VersaCoil phases originally produced by Johnstown America (later FreightCar America).
