Bluford Shops N 52111 52'6" 15-Panel Mill Gondola Lightly Dented Detroit Toledo & Ironton DTI #9326

Railroad Specific Info:

Detroit Toledo & Ironton took delivery of this group of gondolas in 1957 from Pullman Standard. DT&I opted for the narrower style ribs such as those used by Greenville and other builders rather than Pullman’s new wider ribs. However, Pullman fixed ends were used. These cars also used Ajax brakes with IP80 brakewheels.

Product Details:

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.

• The 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.

Car 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. Minimum Radius: 9.75”.
