HO 16,000 Gallon Clay Tank Car UTLX #301559 (ATH16399)

HO-scale 16,000-gallon clay tank car from UTLX, designed for hauling clay slurry and other bulk liquids on model railroads. The model reflects a modern bottom-unloading design with a 16,000-gallon capacity, a 111-inch tank diameter, and a 44-foot overall length, built to AAR Plate C clearance with a 286,000-pound gross load rating. It features funnel-flow bottom unloading and interior lining to prevent cross-contamination between loads.

Rich prototypical detail includes full brake plumbing and rigging, see-through photo-etched walkways and end details, and separately applied fittings such as nozzles and manways. Additional realism comes from wire platform railings, grab irons, ladders, placard holders, and printed markings, with 36-inch solid nickel-silver wheels on RP25 contours and McHenry AAR upper/lower shelf couplers. Designed for HO-track use with a minimum 18-inch radius, multi-packs offer unique road numbers to diversify the roster.
