Athearn presents the ATH8394 HO scale 52' Mill Gondola, representing the Wisconsin Central with road number WC #54241. This gondola is a great addition to your model train collection. Its model features include body-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers for easy connection. The new 3 - packs make it simple to model a complete train. It has separately applied wire grab irons and etched end platforms, along with razor - sharp painting and printing. The car is weighted for optimum performance and comes fully assembled, ready for your layout. Multi - packs have unique road numbers, and it has a minimum radius of 18". The primed for grime models duplicate the look and feel of "In Service" equipment, with faded base colors matched to the prototype, and are a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust. Open - top cars like this gondola are ideal for carrying large, bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal, just like in real - world railroads.

Using this Athearn HO scale 52' Mill Gondola is a breeze. Since it's fully assembled, you can directly place it on your model train layout. Connect it to other cars using the body - mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. When handling, be gentle as the wire grab irons and etched end platforms are delicate. For those who want to add a more realistic touch, you can start adding grime and rust to the primed for grime models. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking its best. Remember, this product is recommended for users aged 14 and above.
