HO 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank (ATH29932)

HO Scale 30,000-Gallon Ethanol Tank Car is a detailed model designed to bring authentic ethanol transport to HO layouts. This modern tank car reproduces the 30,000-gallon capacity used to move ethanol, providing a believable centerpiece for freight trains and industrial scenes.

Scale details abound, including a separately applied walkway platform, manway, outlets, ladders, brake rigging, safety rail supports, tank saddles and printed placards, plus photo-etched walkways and end platforms, wire safety rails, and end handrails. It rides on 100-ton roller bearing trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels in RP25 contours and is weighted for stable operation. Body-mounted scale couplers ensure easy, prototypical connections on standard HO track. The injection-molded body is painted and printed for lifelike decoration, and the minimum curve radius is 18 inches, keeping it compatible with a wide range of layouts. In prototype terms, these modern ethanol cars are typically owned by leasing companies and run in freight trains to deliver fuel to refineries, terminals, and ethanol plants.
