HO 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car GATX #1 (ATH29921)

HO Scale 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car, GATX No. 1 is a highly detailed model recreating a modern ethanol tanker used on HO-scale railways. It captures authentic detailing with a separately applied walkway platform, manway, outlets, ladders, brake rigging detail, safety rail supports, tank saddles and printed placards, plus photo-etched walkways and end platforms, wire safety rails, and a painted, decorated body.

Designed for HO-scale layouts, this tank car rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth, prototypical operation. It uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale couplers for reliable coupling and is weighted for stable tracking on curves with a minimum radius of 18 inches. The model mirrors real ethanol service, where 30,000-gallon cars are commonly owned by leasing companies and leased to producers, helping recreate authentic freight scenes on a layout.
