HO 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car CHSX 255010 (ATH29928)

HO-scale 30,000-gallon Ethanol Tank Car is a realistic model designed to depict modern ethanol transport on an HO layout.

Detailing includes a separately applied walkway platform, manway, outlet and ladders, brake rigging, safety rail supports, tank saddles and printed placards, plus photo-etched walkways and end platforms and wire safety rails and end handrails. It rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks and 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, is weighted for smooth operation, and uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling on curves. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, and the minimum radius is 18 inches, making it compatible with many HO layouts. In real-world service, ethanol tank cars of this type carry about 30,000 gallons and are commonly owned by railcar leasing companies and leased to ethanol producers, so this model helps recreate authentic yard scenes and freight runs.
