...Exciting Products for the HO Scale Model Train Enthusiast |
First built in 1940 with a 70-ton capacity, the mill gondola was originally designed to haul structural steel. Railroads soon discovered the versatility of this car. With its ends dropped flat, the car could be loaded with items exceeding its length. These multi-purpose gondolas were used to haul anything a fixed-end gondola hauled: steel, machinery, pipes, lumber, automobile frames and even coal. The prototype was found throughout the country wherever there was a need to haul long items. The model is prototypically accurate, from the correct dreadnaught drop ends to the wheel or lever hand brake used by each road. Laser-quality sharp printing, authentic stake/tie-down details and highly accurate detailing on the underside make for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
