The 70 - Ton Mill Gondola, a common design since 1940, was built in large numbers by various car builders and railroad - owned shops. Its simple open - top design made it very versatile, carrying all kinds of loads like steel products, machinery, minerals, lumber, and scrap metal. The last batch was built in late 1957, and you could still see them well into the late 1970s and beyond. (Picture may show a different road number).

Using the ScaleTrains 70 - Ton Mill Gondola is a piece of cake. First, gather a Phillips screwdriver and some glue. Then, follow the simple assembly steps to put your gondola together in just a few minutes. When operating, it can run on Code 70, 83, and 100 rail, but make sure the track has a minimum radius of 18 inches. As for maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to gently clean the wheels, stirrup steps, and other parts. Check the couplers regularly to ensure they're working properly.
