N TankTrain Intermediate CGTX #79011/79012/79013 Model (ATH-1778)

The N-scale TankTrain Intermediate CGTX tank car is a ready-to-run model that captures modern GATX tank cars in detail. Representing two classes—the 282-series and 486-series—the model features accurate walkways, end plaques, and transfer plumbing tailored to each series, plus finely painted graphics that emphasize prototype realism. The injection-molded body, separately applied wireform grab irons, and etched coupler platforms add depth without sacrificing reliability. Soft vinyl transfer hoses bend naturally as the car negotiates curves, and the entire model ships fully assembled for immediate operation on the layout.

Designed for smooth operation on common tracks, this tank car rides on 100-ton roller-bearing trucks with rotating bearing caps and body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for dependable handling. It includes thorough underframe detail—air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder—with visible plumbing, and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours to enhance compatibility with most brands. A practical fit for tight-radius layouts, it supports a minimum radius of 9 3/4 inches and a recommended radius of 11 inches, making it a convincing addition to any N-scale freight fleet.
