N 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank ADMX #2 Model (ATH18022)

An N-scale model of a modern 30,000-gallon ethanol tank car from the ADMX series, designed for realistic freight operation on an N-scale layout. This finely detailed car recreates the look and function of contemporary ethanol transport, making it easy to add authentic tank-car traffic to a layout or build convincing unit trains.

Details include a separately applied brake wheel, walkway platform, manway, outlet, ladders, brake rigging, safety rail supports, and tank saddles, along with photo-etched walkways and end platforms, wire safety rails, end handrails, and printed placards. The model rides on screw-mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks with machined metal wheels that roll on Code 55 and 80 rails. The injection-molded body is highly detailed, finished with paint and printing for realistic decoration, and weighted for smooth, reliable operation. Body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers complete the realistic coupling system. A minimum curve radius of 11 inches keeps it compatible with most N-scale layouts. In prototype terms, 30,000-gallon ethanol tank cars are typically owned by railcar leasing companies and leased to ethanol producers, appearing singly or in blocks in freight trains and often forming long unit trains to large refineries.
