The Atlas 20006870 Evans 52' Gondola is a great addition to your HO scale model railroad collection. It represents Bethlehem Steel #2097, though the picture might show a different road number. The gondola, a workhorse in the steel industry, is like a flat car with sides, enabling the transportation of various loads. It has a long history, dating back to around 1830 when it was used on early railways and tramways to haul coal. This model features true 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. Just place it on your model railroad tracks and it's ready to roll! You can use it to create realistic freight scenes by loading it with small items that represent different cargoes. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate details. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If you need to store it, find a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity, as this could affect the paint and the overall quality of the model.
