The NSC 64Ft Gondola is mainly used in construction and waste disposal to haul waste to transfer sites. It can also carry light - medium density steel and other scrapping materials. You can see these cars across North America in unit or manifest train services. It's a post - 2000 era model. Model features include accurate ends and sloting from field measurements, different offset slots for 7 - rung and 8 - rung ladder cars, a newly designed model using industry and field data, correct - sized air reservoir and brake levers in the release position, metal wheels, coupler cut bars and proper air hoses, Microtrains type Knuckle couplers, separately applied ladders, a fully detailed underbody, a near - scale draft gear box with specialized cushion detail, and crisp painting and lettering like the prototype. The wheels have appropriate Bremco or Timken parts where needed.

Using this Otter Valley N Scale gondola is easy. You can place it on your model train track just like other cars. It can be used in both unit train and manifest train services, so you can mix it with different train setups. When handling the gondola, be gentle with the separately applied ladders and the Microtrains type Knuckle couplers to avoid damage. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the car's body and the wheels. Check the air hoses and coupler cut bars regularly to make sure they are in good condition. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue suitable for model trains to fix them. Keep the gondola in a dry place to prevent rusting, especially on the metal wheels.
