The Atlas 20006868 52' Evans Gondola represents the workhorse of the steel industry. It's like a flat - car with sides, enabling it to carry more and a wider variety of loads. First used around 1830 on early railways and tramways for coal transport, this gondola offers great features. It has true - to - scale dimensions with accurate details, weighted and detailed underframes, AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers, trucks with free - rolling metal wheels, and accurate painting and lettering. Note that the picture might show a different road number.

Using this Atlas 52' Evans Gondola is easy. Just connect it to your train set using the AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers. You can load it with different items that fit its size and weight capacity. When using, avoid overloading the gondola as it may affect its performance. For maintenance, regularly check the free - rolling metal wheels. If they seem dirty, gently clean them with a soft cloth. Also, keep an eye on the painting and lettering to make sure they stay in good condition. Store the gondola in a dry place to prevent rusting and damage to its parts.
