HO 30' NACC 8,000-Gallon Tank Car GATX #14034 (ATH97184)

HO-scale 30-foot, 8,000-gallon tank car in GATX livery, reproducing the North American Car Corporation’s compact “Beer Can” design for smaller liquid shipments. It’s an ideal addition to HO layouts seeking realistic, era-appropriate bulk-liquid traffic and a credible, compact carrier for everyday operations.

The model is built with high-fidelity features, including separate manway and vent, photo-etched platforms, wire-form end and platform railings, and separately applied ladders with bracing, plus brake gear with an air reservoir and brake wheel. The underside carries full detail, including an outlet, and it rolls on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. Trucks are prototype-accurate, with either 100-ton roller bearing or Bettendorf trucks, and body-mounted McHenry AAR upper and lower shelf knuckle couplers ensure reliable handling. With accurate painting and printing, a highly detailed injection-molded body, and a weighted chassis, the car is designed to run smoothly on an 18-inch minimum radius, bringing authentic bulk-liquid service to HO layouts.
