MTH 20-98088 Santa Fe 50 Ton Composite Gondola – Model Train Junction: Quality Parts and Art Supplies

This is an MTH 20-98088 Santa Fe 50 Ton Composite Gondola. MTH Premier O Scale freight cars are the perfect complement to any manufacturer’s scale proportioned O Gauge locomotives. Whether you prefer to purchase cars separately or assemble a unit train, MTH Premier Rolling Stock has the cars for you in a variety of car types and paint schemes. These intricately detailed new gondolas, in both all-steel and composite versions, are based on general service (GS) gondolas built for the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific in the mid to late 1940s. GS gons carry materials such as gravel, coal, pipe, and logs. While the UP composite cars were built during the war to conserve steel, the SP ordered composite wood/steel cars after the war to save weight when transporting lighter loads such as wood chips and sugar beets. In later years, composite cars were often rebuilt with steel sides. Our models feature detailed, non-operating, drop-bottom doors and door mechanisms. Virtually every sturdy car is offered in two car numbers which makes it even easier than ever to combine them into a mult-car consist. Many of MTH’s Premier Rolling Stock offerings can also operate on the tightest O Gauge curves giving them even more added versatitlity to your layout.
