HO 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car FXE 418072 (ATHG-1432)

An HO-scale 13,000-gallon acid tank car designed for realistic model railroading, this detailed replica captures the look of prototype acid cars. It features two body configurations representing early and late prototypes, with era-appropriate top platforms to match their period. Separate wire grabs and handrails add extra realism to the car’s exterior.

Underneath and along the car’s length, the model includes full underframe detail—air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinders with plumbing—plus etched metal walkways and varied end sills to reflect prototype variations. It rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on popular HO track, and uses body-mounted, scale McHenry double-shelf knuckle couplers. Additional authenticity comes from multiple road numbers, era-specific brake systems, coupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and other hardware. The trucks feature rotating bearing caps for added realism, and the design is compatible with HO layouts that use a minimum 18-inch radius curves.
