This is an HO scale model of the Otter Valley Railroad 64106 NSC 64-foot, 6400 cubic-foot scrap and trash gondola, AIMX #23010, an Otter Valley exclusive! In real life, this gondola is mainly used in construction and waste disposal, hauling waste to transfer sites. It also transports light to medium-density steel and other scrapping materials.

The model features accurate ends and sloting from field measurements, different offset slots for 7-rung and 8-rung ladder cars, and is newly designed using industry sources and field data. It has a correct-size air reservoir and brake levers in the release position, metal wheels, coupler cut bars, correct air hoses, a knuckle coupler, separately applied ladders, a fully detailed underbody, a near-scale draft gear box with specialized cushion detail, crisp painting and lettering like the real thing, and rotating roller-bearing wheel caps with appropriate Bremco or Timken branding. Note that the picture might show a different road number.

Using this HO scale scrap and trash gondola model is easy. Just place it on your model train track and couple it with other cars in your train. You can use it to create a realistic-looking train set for post-2000 era scenes. When handling the model, be gentle to avoid damaging the separately applied ladders, coupler cut bars, and other delicate parts. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the paint and details. Store the model in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you notice any parts coming loose, you can use a small amount of model glue to reattach them. Enjoy building your own unique model train world with this Otter Valley exclusive gondola!
