N 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car CHSX #255010 (ATH18032)

This N-scale model reproduces a 30,000-gallon ethanol tank car, designed for authentic operation on modern layouts.

Features include 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, wire safety rails and end handrails, printed placards, screw-mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks, machined metal wheels that run on Code 55 and 80 rail, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for lifelike decoration and the model is weighted for dependable tracking, with a minimum curve radius of 11 inches. In real service, 30,000-gallon ethanol cars are commonly owned by railcar leasing companies and leased to ethanol producers, forming long trains that move product to fuel dealers, large refineries and other destinations; this level of detail helps recreate that modern network on a layout.
