HO 30' NACC 8000-Gallon Tank Car NADX Penguin Grainger Ale (ATH97175)

An HO-scale 30-foot, 8,000-gallon tank car reproducing the North American Car Corporation’s compact “Beer Can” design, finished in the NADX Penguin Grainger Ale livery. This faithful model is designed for HO layouts, offering realistic proportions and ready-to-run operation that’s ideal for small home layouts.

On the details side, the model includes a separate manway and vent, photo-etched platforms, wire-form end railings, and separately applied ladders with bracing, plus brake gear complete with an air reservoir and brake wheel. The underside carries full detail, including the outlet, and it rolls on prototype-accurate 100-ton trucks with either roller bearings or Bettendorf design. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on common HO track, while body-mounted scale-knuckle couplers provide reliable, authentic coupling. The injection-molded body is highly detailed and accurately painted, and the car is weighted for steady, trouble-free operation with a minimum 18-inch radius, making it a good fit for smaller layouts.
