N 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car CTCX #301127 (ATH18036)

This 30,000-gallon ethanol tank car model is designed to bring a realistic representation of modern ethanol transport to model railroad layouts. Reflecting typical leased equipment, it captures the look of ethanol service cars used to move fuel from producers to distributors, with authentic detailing that adds credibility to freight-train scenes.

Highlights include separately applied brake wheel, walkway platform, manway, outlets, ladders, brake rigging, safety rail supports and tank saddles; 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; weighted for stable operation; body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers; and a highly detailed injection-molded body painted and printed for realistic decoration. A minimum curve radius of 11 inches makes it suitable for a wide range of layouts and operating scenarios, while the overall presentation mirrors the appearance of ethanol cars found in leasing fleets.
