Check out this amazing HO Scale 52' 6 Canadian Mill Gondola, the Rapido 50053A ONT - Ontario Northland #5071. It features a cool progressive scheme in green and white. Note that the picture might show a different road number. This mill gondola was first made in 1943 and production continued through the 1950s for several Canadian railways. Many of these cars were built by National Steel Car and Eastern Car Company. They were used for general service and traveled across the US and Canada until the 1980s, and you can still find some in use today! Our model accurately captures the details of the original. It has delicate Z bracing or hat channel ribs, separate wire grab irons, positionable drop ends, and ratchet - style hand brakes. The die - cast metal floor gives it good weight for smooth operation. The interior is well - detailed with rivet and tie - down details. We offer three different 70 - ton trucks, all with turned, free - rolling metal wheels. Standard - fitted are our metal Macdonald - Cartier knuckle couplers. Key features of our HO Scale model include accurate Z - brace side posts, full decoration and assembly, factory - installed grab irons, a fully 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 from previous runs.
