N\u0026amp;W had already adopted the “Hamburger” N\u0026amp;W logo and began applying them to the NKP gon fleet as they came due for repainting and renumbering. During this period, only gondolas received this wonky version of the NORFOLK AND WESTERN billboard lettering (note the strange R’s, K and S.)  This group of gons had fixed Carbuilders ends with Ajax brake housings and IP80 brakewheels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBluford Shops is happy to announce our second group of N scale Factory Dented 52’6” Mill Gondolas. As with the first group (currently in production) these models feature diecast floors for superior tracking and plastic sides, ends, draft gear, body bolsters and additional brake gear. The cars come standard with our metal wheels and magnetically operating knuckle couplers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lightly Dented versions have multiple deflections in the side sheets above the floor line. The Medium Dented versions have the side sheets visibly puffed outward between the rivet lines as countless small dings to the inside faces accumulated and stretched the sheets into rough domes. The Heavily Dented versions also have the puffed out panels but to a greater extent – plus many of the ribs have also been deflected outward. The concave dent detail on the inside faces matches the convex outside faces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCar ends and brake equipment vary based on prototype. Interiors have a rust effect finish. Each road name will be available in 6 road numbers – 2 each of lightly dented, medium dented and heavily dented versions. \u003cb\u003eMinimum Radius: 9.75”.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"HHW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54417272799507,"sku":"52150","price":33.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9283\/4323\/files\/BlufordShopsNW.png?v=1783791154","url":"https:\/\/southeasthobbies.com\/products\/bluford-shops-52150-n-scale-526-15-panel-lightly-dented-mill-gondola-norfolk-western-275352","provider":"SoutheastHobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
