N 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank CTCX #2 (3) Model (ATH18038)

This is a detailed 30,000-gallon ethanol tank car model designed for model railroad layouts. It recreates a modern ethanol tanker, delivering authentic freight traffic to yards, sidings, and mainline runs on your layout.

Every detail is thoughtfully rendered: a separately applied brake wheel, walkway platform, manway, outlet, ladders, brake rigging, safety rail supports and tank saddles; photo-etched metal 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 a weighted chassis for steady operation. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and it uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling to other cars. In the real world, 30,000-gallon ethanol tank cars are common in leasing fleets and move between refineries and bulk terminals; this model captures that look and feel, while the minimum radius is 11 inches to fit typical hobby curves.
