Explore the Rapido 50049A CN Canadian National #149966 HO Scale 52' 6 Canadian Mill Gondola in boxcar red with 12' lettering. The picture might show a different road number. This 52’6” mill gondola was first produced in 1943 and continued through the 1950s for several Canadian railways. Many were built by National Steel Car and Eastern Car Company. It was used in general service across the US and Canada until the 1980s, and some are still in company service today. Our model accurately captures the prototype's details. It features delicate Z bracing or hat channel ribs, separate wire grab irons, positionable drop ends, and ratchet-style hand brakes. The die-cast metal floor adds weight for smooth operation. The interior has full rivet and tie-down details. Three types of 70-ton trucks are available, with turned, free-rolling metal wheels. Standard magnetic Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers are included. Our HO scale model offers accurate Z-brace side posts, is fully decorated and assembled, has factory-installed grab irons, a detailed underbody, positionable drop ends, era-specific trucks, correct-height magnetic couplers, free-rolling wheelsets, full interior detail, multiple car numbers per scheme, and all-new car numbers.

Using this HO scale Canadian mill gondola is easy. Just place it on your model train track and let it roll. The magnetic couplers make it simple to connect with other cars. When handling the gondola, be gentle with the delicate parts like the wire grab irons and positionable drop ends. Avoid rough play to prevent breakage. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. If there's dust inside, a small brush can help. Keep the metal parts dry to prevent rust. Store the gondola in a cool, dry place when not in use to ensure its long - term quality.
