The Atlas 20006875 Evans 52' gondola in HO scale is a must - have for model train enthusiasts. It represents the NS Norfolk Southern with the number #997294, though the picture might show a different road number. The gondola, a workhorse of the steel industry since around 1830, was initially used to transport coal on early railways and tramways. It's like a flat car with sides, allowing for a wider range of loads. This model features true - to - scale dimensions with precise details, weighted and detailed underframes, AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers, trucks with free - rolling metal wheels, and accurate painting and lettering.

Using this HO scale gondola model is easy. You can simply place it on your model train track and couple it with other cars in your train set. It'll add a realistic touch to your layout. When handling the gondola, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate details like the couplers and lettering. To keep it in top condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading.
