Description
HO-scale NSC 6400 Gondola with Scrap Load is a detailed model of National Steel Car’s large-capacity freight car, designed for modern HO layouts. The model reproduces the 6,400-cubic-foot gondola and includes a removable scrap load, with nine build variations from 2006 to the present and multiple body and end configurations to reflect the prototype.
Designed for reliable operation on standard model railroad curves, the car features etched crossover platforms, metal grab irons, and accurate brake piping. It rides on newly-tooled Barber S-2-E 100-ton trucks with animated bearing caps and printed road numbers, and uses body-mounted McHenry lower-shelf couplers. Weighted to NMRA standards for dependable running, it accommodates minimum radii of 22 inches, with 24 inches recommended.
