This gondola is ideal for the scrap and metal industries, used between scrap yards, resellers, and steel plants. You can spot these cars all over North America in unit or manifest train services, post-2018. Key features include accurate ends and sloting from field measurements, different offset slots for 7 and 8 rung ladder cars, a brand - new design based on industry sources and field data, correctly sized air reservoir and brake levers in the release position, metal wheels, coupler cut bars, correct air hoses, knuckle couplers, separately applied ladders, a fully detailed underbody, a near - scale draft gear box with specialized cushion detail, crisp painting and lettering like the prototype, and rotating wheel caps with appropriate Bremco or Timken branding.

Using this HO scale gondola is easy. Just place it on your model train tracks and couple it with other cars. It's designed to fit well into your post - 2018 themed train sets. When handling, be gentle as the separately applied ladders and other small details can be delicate. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint and lettering. Check the couplers regularly to ensure they're working properly, and if needed, give them a light lubrication with a suitable model train lubricant. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading or warping of the plastic parts.
