Product Description

HO Scale Northern Pacific GS Drop Bottom Gondola

The NPRHA is extremely excited to announce reservations for an HO scale model of the Northern Pacific GS Drop Bottom Gondolas. This is car series 50000 to 50499 originally purchased from Pressed Steel Car Co. in 1940, these cars hauled coal, ore, pulpwood, scrap metal, hog fuel, and many other materials for the NP.

This gondola was developed as a partnership between the NPRHA and Rapido Trains, with the original CAD work developed by the NPRHA in exceptionally exacting detail. Just look very closely at the 3D renderings.

HO model features include the following:

  • Designed from in-depth field measurements and NP drawings of the lone remaining car at Toppenish WA
  • Highly detailed underbody arrangements appropriate for this specific car
  • 18 different car numbers
  • Very detailed lettering for this car series, and unique stencils like “FOR PULPWOOD LOADING ONLY”
  • Accurate free-rolling trucks
  • Metal magnetic knuckle couplers
  • Did we mention that the detail and fidelity on this model is extremely accurate? Over the top.

Pricing – While the final pricing has not been set, we expect these cars to sell for roughly $55. Reservation costs will be applied to the customer’s final price of purchase. All NPRHA members receive an 8% discount, which is more than the Rapido early bird discount of 5%.
