NSC 6000 Gondola with Load Plastic Model (ATHGN6719)

NSC 6000 Gondola with Load is a highly detailed freight car model designed to reproduce National Steel Car’s 6,000-cubic-foot capacity gondolas. This Athearn Genesis release captures the car’s imposing dimensions and modern-era design, and includes a removable scrap load to add realism to any layout, making it a standout addition to a contemporary roster.

Designed for authentic operation and presentation, the model features separately applied metal grab irons and etched crossover platforms, along with accurate brake piping in both metal and plastic. It also includes bent-wire coupler cut levers, rubber train-line hoses, and screw-mounted 100-ton roller-bearing trucks, plus body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf knuckle couplers and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. The injection-molded body is precisely painted and printed for prototypical realism, and the unit is weighted to ensure smooth, stable performance on layout tracks.
