The NSC 64-foot gondola is mainly used in construction and waste disposal, hauling waste to transfer sites. It's also great for transporting light to medium density steel and other scrapping materials. You can spot these cars all over North America in unit or manifest train service, and it's suitable for the post-2000 era. The model features accurate ends and sloting from field measurements, different offset slots for 7-rung and 8-rung ladder cars. It's a brand-new design based on industry sources and field data. It has the correct size air reservoir and brake levers in the release position, metal wheels, coupler cut bars, and proper air hoses. There's a Microtrains type knuckle coupler, separately applied ladders, a fully detailed underbody, a near-scale size draft gear box with specialized cushion detail, and crisp painting and lettering like the real thing. The wheels have appropriate Bremco or Timken as needed.

Using this Otter Valley gondola model is easy. Just place it on your N scale model train track and connect it to other cars in your train. Whether you're setting up a unit train or a manifest train, it'll fit right in. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the ladders and couplers. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If there's dirt in hard-to-reach places, you can use a small brush. Store the model in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint and lettering from fading. And always check the couplers and wheels before each use to make sure they're working properly.
