This Atlas 20006853 Evans 52-foot gondola in HO scale represents the BAR Bangor & Aroostook #34101. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The gondola, a workhorse in the steel industry, is like a flat car with sides. It was first used around 1830 on early railways and tramways to transport coal, and it can carry various types of loads. Key features include true scale dimensions with precise details, weighted and detailed underframes, AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers, trucks with free-rolling metal wheels, and accurate painting and lettering.

Using this HO scale gondola model is easy. Just place it on your model train track and couple it with other cars in your train set. When handling the gondola, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate parts like the couplers and wheels. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint and lettering. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading or warping. If you notice any loose parts, use a small amount of suitable glue to fix them. Have fun building your model railway with this great gondola!
