The picture might show a different road number. The gondola, a workhorse in the steel industry, is like a flat car with sides. This design lets it carry more and various types of loads. It dates back to around 1830 and was first used on early railways and tramways for coal transport. Key features include true scale dimensions with accurate details, weighted and detailed underframes, AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers, trucks with free-rolling metal wheels, and accurate painting and lettering.

Using this HO scale Evans 52' gondola is easy. You can place it on your model railway track and start creating your own railway scenes. Just make sure the track is clean and smooth for a good run. When handling the gondola, be gentle to avoid any damage to its detailed parts. For maintenance, use a soft brush to clean the wheels and underframe regularly. This will keep the free - rolling metal wheels working smoothly. If you notice any dirt on the painting or lettering, you can use a slightly damp cloth to wipe it carefully. Also, store the gondola in a dry place to prevent rust or other damage.
