Explore the Rapido 50055A PGE HO Scale 52' 6 Canadian Mill Gondola, numbered #9420 in as-delivered black. The picture might show a different road number. This 52’6” mill gondola was made from 1943 to the 1950s for several Canadian railways. National Steel Car and Eastern Car Company built many of these and similar cars. It was used in general service and traveled across the US and Canada until the 1980s, and some are still in company service today. Our model precisely captures the prototype's details. It features delicate Z bracing or hat channel ribs, separate wire grab irons, positionable drop ends, and ratchet - style hand brakes. The die - cast metal floor adds weight for smooth operation. The interior has full rivet and tie - down details. We offer three different 70 - ton trucks with turned, free - rolling metal wheels. Standard are our metal Macdonald - Cartier knuckle couplers. Model features include accurate Z - brace side posts, full decoration and assembly, factory - installed grab irons, detailed underbody, positionable drop ends, era - specific trucks, magnetic metal knuckle couplers at the right height, free - rolling turned metal wheelsets, full interior detail, multiple car numbers per scheme, and all new car numbers with no duplicates.

Using your HO Scale 52' 6 Canadian Mill Gondola is a breeze. Just place it on your model railway track and let it roll. The magnetic metal knuckle couplers make it easy to connect with other cars. When positioning the drop ends, do it gently to avoid any damage. For maintenance, keep it clean by using a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. If you notice any dirt in the wheels, use a small brush to clean them. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any warping or damage. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. When handling the model, hold it by the sturdier parts like the body, not the delicate grab irons or other small details.
