On30 Low Gondola with Trucks and Knuckle Couplers by John Bull Trains

This multipurpose ON30 gondola is ideal for scrap service, maintenance-of-way loads, industrial short lines, logging residues, or modern contract haulers. Rugged and ready to customize, it’s available in kit or assembled form with optional bogies and couplers. Offered in multiple colors and undecorated so you can tailor it to your era or operation. Operates flawlessly on standard HO gauge track.

Modern Narrow Gauge for the Modern Modeler

For years, ON30 modeling has focused almost exclusively on 19th-century mining and logging railroads. While those classic themes remain popular, they represent only a small fraction of what narrow-gauge railroading can be. ON30’s biggest advantage—the ability to run O-scale equipment on reliable, affordable HO-gauge track—opens the door to far more creative and contemporary model railroads.

John Bull Trains is proud to introduce a diverse new line of ON30 products designed to break out of the past and bring narrow-gauge modeling into any era you choose—including the modern day.
