HO 30' NACC 8,000-Gallon Tank GATX #14021 Plastic Model (ATH97183)

HO-scale North American Car Corporation 30-foot, 8,000-gallon tank car in the distinctive "Beer Can" shape, a compact design operated by GATX from the 1970s through the 1990s. This ready-to-run model fits standard HO layouts and adds an authentic, era-appropriate touch to a home railroad scene.

Equipped with a high level of detail, it features separate manway and vent, photo-etched platforms, wireform end rails, and separately applied ladders with bracing, plus brake gear with an air reservoir and brake wheel. The underside is fully detailed, and the shell is accurately painted and printed on a highly refined injection-molded body. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted AAR upper and lower shelf scale knuckle couplers. The design can be fitted with 100-ton roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks to match the prototype, and a weighted construction ensures smooth operation on HO track with a minimum radius of 18 inches. This model is well-suited for small layouts and adds convincing period detail to any scene.
