Otter Valley 6472 NSC 64 Ft 6400 CuFt Scrap and Trash Gondola - SECX #2330 N Scale

This is an exclusive Otter Valley N Scale model of the NSC 64 Ft 6400 CuFt Scrap and Trash Gondola, numbered SECX #2330. The picture might show a different road number. In real - life, this gondola is mainly used in construction and waste disposal industries to haul waste to transfer sites. It's also great for transporting light - to - medium density steel and other scrapping materials. You can spot these cars across North America in unit or manifest train services, especially after 2000. The model features accurate ends and sloting based on real measurements. It has different offset slots for 7 - rung and 8 - rung ladder cars. Designed with industry sources and field data, it comes with a correct - sized air reservoir and brake levers in the release position. Metal wheels, coupler cut bars, and proper air hoses add to its authenticity. It uses a Microtrains type Knuckle coupler. Separately applied ladders and a fully detailed underbody enhance its look. The near - scale draft gear box has specialized cushion details, and the painting and lettering are as crisp as the real prototype. The wheels have appropriate Bremco or Timken markings where needed.

Using this Otter Valley N Scale scrap and trash gondola model is easy. Just place it on your model train tracks and connect it to other cars using the Microtrains type Knuckle coupler. It's suitable for both unit train and manifest train setups. When handling the model, be gentle as the separately applied ladders and other small details can be fragile. Avoid dropping it or applying too much pressure. To maintain the model, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels regularly. This will keep the crisp painting and lettering looking great. Check the coupler and air hoses from time to time to make sure they're in good condition. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of appropriate glue to fix them. Keep the model in a dry and dust - free place when not in use to prevent damage.
