HO 16,000 Gallon Clay Tank (ATH16405)

HO Scale 16,000-Gallon Clay Tank Railcar is a detailed model built for HO layouts, recreating a modern 16,000-gallon clay tanker car designed for bottom unloading. The prototype carries clay and other bulk liquids and is typically lined and kept in dedicated service to avoid cross-contamination, a realism echoed in this model for authentic operation on a busy layout.

It features full brake plumbing and rigging, see-through photo-etched walkways and end details, and separately applied fittings such as nozzles, manways, and platforms. Additional realism comes from wire platform railings, grab irons, ladders, placard holders, and printed markings, all mounted on 36-inch nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and McHenry AAR upper/lower shelf couplers. With an 18-inch minimum-radius track requirement, this car adds a highly detailed, dependable piece to yards and mainlines.
