{"product_id":"ath29917","title":"HO 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car (ATH29917)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eAn HO-scale 30,000-gallon ethanol tank car, available in two variations, designed to bring authentic ethanol transport operations to HO model railroad layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eKey features include a separately applied walkway platform, manway, outlet, ladders, brake rigging detail, safety rail supports, tank saddles, and printed placards, along with photo-etched walkways and end platforms. Wire safety rails and end handrails add realism, while the model rolls on 100-ton roller bearing trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels in RP25 contours and is weighted for stable, smooth operation. Body-mounted scale upper and lower shelf knuckle couplers provide reliable coupling, and the injection-molded body is painted and printed for lifelike decoration. A minimum layout radius of 18 inches makes it compatible with a wide range of HO layouts. Prototype background notes indicate that modern ethanol tank cars typically have a 30,000-gallon capacity, are often owned by railcar leasing fleets and leased to ethanol producers, and can appear in large unit trains or in shipments to refineries and fuel depots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47557090508852,"sku":"ATH29917","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH29917.jpg?v=1772826365","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath29917","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
