An exclusive from Otter Valley! The NSC 64Ft Gondola, ideal for the construction and waste disposal industries, hauls waste to transfer sites.

This post - 2000 era model features accurate ends and sloting from field measurements, different offset slots for 7 - rung and 8 - rung ladder cars. It's a newly designed model 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, and a Microtrains type Knuckle coupler. The ladders are separately applied, the underbody is fully detailed, and it has a near - scale draft gear box with specialized cushion detail. The painting and lettering are crisp, just like the prototype, and the wheels have appropriate Bremco or Timken parts.

Using this Otter Valley N Scale Gondola is simple. You can use it to represent trains in your model railway that are involved in construction and waste disposal. Just connect it to other cars in your train using the Microtrains type Knuckle coupler. When setting up your model train layout, place it in areas that represent waste transfer sites or steel - handling areas. As for maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft brush to gently remove dust from the car body, wheels, and underbody. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint and details. If you notice any loose parts like the separately applied ladders, use a small amount of glue to re - attach them. And when storing the gondola, keep it in a dry place to prevent rusting of the metal wheels and other parts.
