N 52'6" Drop-End Gondola Union Pacific #30868 (BAC73973)

This N-scale 52-foot 6-inch Drop-End Gondola in Union Pacific livery is a detailed model freight car designed for realistic operation on model railroads. Based on the original 1920s design that allowed longer loads to ride the car, the drop-end gates fold inward to accommodate items like pipes or rails. The Bachmann model arrives fully assembled with a precisely painted body and authentic graphics, ready to run on standard tracks.

It features posable drop-end gates for lifelike operation, magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers for smooth coupling, and blackened machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable tracking. Added weight helps ensure stable tracking through curves and switches, making this Union Pacific gondola a sturdy, visually faithful addition to an N-scale layout.
