Gondolas have been used since the late 1800s to transport a wide variety of bulk materials. Constructed with low sidewalls, gondolas are suited to hauling a range of cargo types, from steel plates to ballast, coal, sheet metal coils, scrap, and even more bulky items such as pre-assembled track segments. Based on a popular riveted steel design first appearing on railroads in the late 1920s, the Bachmann 40' Gondola comes in a variety of authentic railroad colors appropriate for a wide range of eras. Each gondola is fully assembled and features a highly detailed painted body with precision graphics, blackened machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, magnetically operated E-Z Mate couplers, and added weight for optimum tracking performance.
