Description
HO Scale 52′ Mill Gondola Car from TILX, road number 35157, is a detailed HO model designed for realistic operation on standard layouts. Open-top gondolas like this have long served railroads for hauling bulky loads such as coil steel or scrap metal loaded by crane, making it a versatile addition to any fleet.
The model benefits from refined end-sheet molded-on details, improved rivet and bolt detailing, and corrected wire grab-iron placements, plus new top-chord and jack reinforcement details and coupler cut lever mounting details. It includes separately applied wire grab irons, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours for smooth performance on most HO track. Weighted for stable running, it ships fully assembled with razor-sharp painting and printing and a minimum recommended turning radius of 18 inches.
