N FCA VersaCoil Gondola NOKL #385040 (ATHGN13751)

VersaCoil Gondola is a detailed model freight car designed to haul steel coils in a versatile transverse trough. Real VersaCoil cars carry coils from about 30 to 72 feet in these troughs, boosting loading efficiency and protecting coil edges during movement. The model reproduces multiple VersaCoil phases, including Phase 1 bodies without hoods and Phase 2 bodies with removable hoods.

Fidelity is evident in the details: screw‑mounted 100‑ton roller bearing trucks, body‑mounted McHenry lower‑shelf knuckle couplers, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. The injection‑molded body is highly detailed and accurately painted for prototypical realism, and the car is weighted for stable operation on most popular brands of track. VersaCoil gondolas are designed around a transverse trough concept that holds coils of varying sizes, with Phase 2 variants offering removable hoods. All cars include removable coils and a richly detailed underbody featuring etched platforms, rubber train‑line hoses, coupler‑cut levers, and metal grab irons, with exact details varying by hood configuration. The minimum radius is 11 inches, with 15 inches recommended for best performance.
