N ATH 30K Ethanol Tank Car (ATH-2416)

The N ATH 30K Ethanol Tank Car is a modern model that represents the 30,000-gallon capacity tank cars widely used in the rail industry. These cars are commonly owned by railcar leasing companies and leased to ethanol producers, often displaying company logos, which adds to their realistic detailing. Fuel dealers and small refineries receive single cars and small blocks of cars integrated into freight trains, while large gasoline refineries may receive substantial shipments with unit trains.

This model features intricately applied details such as a brake wheel, walkway platform, manway, outlet, ladders, and safety rail supports, enhancing its realism. It comes with photo-etched metal walkways and end platforms along with wire safety rails. The model also has printed placards for added authenticity, and its performance is optimized with screw mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks and machined metal wheels suitable for Code 55 and 80 rail. The body design boasts a highly-detailed, injection-molded construction that is both weighted and finished with realistic decorations, ensuring a quality appearance on any layout. The minimum radius requirement for this tank car is 11 inches.
