NSC 6000 Gondola with Load (ATHGN6725)

NSC 6,000-Cubic-Foot Gondola with Load is a detailed HO-scale replica that reproduces National Steel Car’s modern six-thousand-cubic-foot gondolas. From the Athearn Genesis line, this model captures the car’s imposing profile and authentic detailing, including a removable scrap load, making it a credible centerpiece for a contemporary freight roster on any layout.

Designed for serious model railroaders, the car features separately applied metal grab irons, etched crossover platforms, accurate brake piping in both metal and plastic, bent-wire coupler cut levers, rubber train-line hoses, screw-mounted 100-ton roller-bearing trucks, body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf knuckle couplers, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and a precisely painted and printed finish. The highly detailed injection-molded body is weighted for stable operation, delivering a lifelike presence and smooth handling when running with other cars or standing on display.
