HO 1-Dome Tank Union Starch/SHPX Model (ATH3380)

This HO-scale 1-Dome Tank car in the Union Starch/SHPX design is a detailed model built to represent chemical-hauling service on HO layouts. Fully assembled and ready to run, it brings authentic scale presence to freight trains with reliable operation on standard hobby tracks.

Key details include decorated placards where appropriate, a separately applied brake wheel, and wireform safety handrails, with weight balanced for optimum performance. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ride on a sturdy, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle coupler system for reliable, close coupling. The model is offered in four-packs with unique road numbers to model longer trains, and features a highly detailed injection-molded body with a minimum 18-inch turning radius. In real railroading, tank cars are specialized equipment designed with interior linings to isolate contents from the shell and reinforced tank heads to withstand cargo and operating pressure, context reflected in this HO-scale representation.
