NSC 6000 Gondola with Load (ATHGN6721)

NSC 6000 Gondola with Load is a detailed freight car model that recreates National Steel Car's massive 6,000 cubic foot capacity gondolas, and includes a removable scrap load for added realism on the layout.

Designed for prototype accuracy, this car features separately applied metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms, and precise brake piping in metal and plastic. Bent wire coupler cut levers, rubber train line hoses, and screw-mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks contribute to authentic operation, while body-mounted McHenry lower shelf knuckle couplers, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a carefully painted and printed finish deliver a convincing look. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and weighted for stable running, making these NSC 6000 gondolas a strong addition to a modern roster.
