HO 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car RPBX #23227 (ATHG-1436)

HO-scale 13,000-gallon acid tank car, RPBX 23227, a detailed model designed for authentic display and reliable operation on HO model railroad layouts.

Accurate to prototype, the car features two body phases representing early and late configurations, with top platforms that vary to match the specific variant. It includes separate wire grabs and handrails, etched metal walkways, and full underframe detail such as an air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinder with plumbing and brake rods. The trucks feature animated rotating bearing caps, and the car is equipped with body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers for smooth, prototypical coupling. Multiple road numbers are included, with unique numbers across singles and 3-packs for realistic consists. Machined metal RP25 wheels provide reliable operation on most HO track, with a minimum radius of 18 inches. Additional authenticity comes from varied brake systems and end sills, plus coupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and other hardware, most of which is separately applied to enhance realism.
