This is an HO Scale Otter Valley Railroad 64051 NSC 64 Ft 6400 CuFt Scrap and Trash Gondola - AIMX #1141. Note that the picture might show a different road number. It's an Otter Valley exclusive! The NSC 64Ft 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 see these cars all over North America, in unit or manifest train service. This post - 2000 model has many great features. It has accurate ends and sloting based on real - world measurements. There are different offset slots for 7 - rung and 8 - rung ladder cars. It's designed using industry sources and field data. It comes with the correct size air reservoir and brake levers in the release position, metal wheels, coupler cut bars, correct air hoses, and a knuckle coupler. The ladders are separately applied, and the underbody is fully detailed. It has a near - scale draft gear box with specialized cushion detail, crisp painting, and lettering as per the prototype. The rotating roller - bearing wheel caps have appropriate Bremco or Timken branding where needed.

Using this scrap and trash gondola is easy. You can use it to simulate transporting waste in your model train setup, or load it with small pieces to represent light - to - medium density steel and other scrapping materials. When handling the gondola, be gentle with the separately applied ladders and other small parts to avoid breakage. For maintenance, use a soft brush to clean the dust off the body and wheels regularly. Check the couplers and wheels from time to time to make sure they are working smoothly. If the painting starts to look dull, you can use a suitable model paint to touch it up carefully.
