HO Athearn 30K Ethanol Tank Car GATX #35200/35208/35209 (ATH-2414)

This HO-scale Athearn Ethanol Tank Car in GATX livery is a detailed model designed for realistic operation on HO layouts. It recreates a 30,000-gallon ethanol tanker with authentic markings and proportions, making it an ideal centerpiece for freight runs and switching scenes on a model railroad.

The car showcases true-to-life detailing, including separately applied walkways, manways, outlets, ladders, brake rigging detail, safety rail supports, tank saddles and printed placards. It features photo-etched metal walkways and end platforms, wire safety rails and end handrails, plus 100-ton roller bearing trucks and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. Weighted for stable, smooth performance, it uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers and a highly detailed injection-molded body, with paint and printing that deliver realistic decoration. Designed to negotiate minimum radii of 18 inches, it’s ready to enhance HO layouts with a convincing ethanol-tanker model.
