The Atlas 20006858 HO scale 52' Evans Gondola represents the Chicago West Pullman #2029. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The gondola, a workhorse in the steel industry, is like a flat - car with sides, allowing it to carry more and diverse loads. It dates back to around 1830 and was initially used on early railways and tramways for coal transportation. This model features 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 Atlas HO scale 52' Evans Gondola is simple. Just place it on your model railway track and let it carry your model loads. When handling, be gentle to avoid any damage to the fine details. Keep it away from sharp objects. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body of the gondola. If there's dirt on the wheels, use a small brush to clean them carefully. Also, check the couplers regularly to make sure they're working properly. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a little glue to fix them, but be careful not to get glue on other parts of the model.
