HO 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car UTLX #125019 (ATHG-1423)

HO-scale 13,000-gallon acid tank car in UTLX livery, designed for realistic display and operation on HO model railroads. This highly detailed model captures the look and function of a prototype chemical tanker, making it ideal for era-accurate layouts, yard scenes, and interchanges.

It features two body profiles representing early and late prototypes with era-appropriate top platforms, plus separate wire grabs and handrails, etched metal walkways, and full underframe detailing such as an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing and rods. The trucks roll on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on most track brands, and body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers ensure reliable coupling. Additional realism comes from varied brake systems and end sills by prototype, plus coupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and other hardware, with multiple road numbers across singles and multi-car sets. A minimum 18-inch radius keeps this model compatible with standard HO layouts, making it a compelling choice for prototypical freight operations and interchanges.
