If you model the steam-to-diesel transition era, you’ll want to get Milwaukee, Racine & Troy 41-foot gondola No. 7623. The injection-molded plastic kit (era: July 1948+) uses Accurail’s 3700-series tooling and features the original MR&T square herald.
The sides and underbody are molded as a single piece, with center sill, crossmember, and body bolster detail on the bottom. The kit includes two sprues of modeler-installed parts. One sprue has the car floor, car ends, draft-gear boxes, brake wheel, handbrake rod fulcrum and chain, brake platform, air reservoir, and control valve. The other contains the brake rod assembly and stirrup steps.
The kit also includes solid-bearing trucks, Delrin engineering plastic wheelsets, Accumate knuckle couplers with modeler-installed trip pins, a steel weight, and four 2-56 x 3/16” screws. Written and illustrated instructions take modelers through the seven steps needed to assemble the gondola.
The gondola, made in the United States of America, is offered in one road number.
