N 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank GATX #2 Model (ATH18026)

This 30,000-gallon ethanol tank car, modeled after GATX No. 2, is designed for HO-scale railroading. It delivers a realistic representation of a modern ethanol carrier, making it ideal for adding authentic detail to layout trains or display dioramas.

Detailing includes a separately applied brake wheel, walkway platform, manway, outlet, ladders, brake rigging detail, safety rail supports, and tank saddles, plus photo-etched walkways and end platforms. The model rides on screw-mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks with machined metal wheels that run on Code 55 and 80 rails, and it is weighted for steady operation. Body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers ensure reliable connections, and the injection-molded body is painted and printed for a convincing, prototype-accurate look. With a minimum curve radius of 11 inches, it fits neatly into most HO-layout configurations.
