PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
Gondolas are low-sided railroad cars that are used for hauling bulky loads that don't need protection from the weather. The Roundhouse 50' gondola is representative of larger cars that began appearing on the rails in the early 1950's, and many survive today working for modern roads and contractors.

Customer Reviews

Good, basic rolling stock addition.
Nicely decorated example with details cast in place. Metal wheeled trucks are basic and un-sprung. For the purist, underside has basic cast in place components, but no plumbing. Good candidate for upgrading and weathering.
