Description: This is an HO scale 50' gondola car that The hopper shop has custom painted, decaled, decorated, then upgraded with metal Kadee knuckle couplers, which gives it a unique and realistic appearance. The manufacturer is unknown; it was possibly made by Athearn?. I’m also listing other similar custom rolling stock, locomotives, buildings, and more, so be sure to check out my other listings—I do combine shipping!
Condition: This train is either new or lightly used and remains in decent condition. Cosmetically, it looks pretty good overall, showing only a few minor scratches that are more noticeable depending on the lighting, paint chips, and shiny spots. As a custom piece by The Hopper Shop, some original detail parts may have been repaired, replaced, missing, or swapped with non-stock components, which I may be unaware of and cannot confirm due to the nature of the customization. The instructions and original box are not included. Despite these imperfections, it is unique and would make a great addition to any HO layout.
Final Note on my Description & Condition: I always try my best to describe the good the bad and the ugly of my trains; nevertheless please look closely at the photos with zoom feature as they are a part of the visual description and that way you can make your own judgment on the condition of the train so that there are not surprises and so that you know exactly what you are getting yourself, especially when everyone views condition differently.
