N 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car UTLX #125013 (ATHG-1468)

An N-scale 13,000-gallon acid tank car in UTLX livery, designed for realistic chemical-hauler scenes on model railroads. This highly detailed replica mirrors the real acid tanker, including early and late body phases and the appropriate brake configurations to match prototype variations.

Key details include Type F “double shelf” McHenry couplers (body-mounted), rubber trainline hoses, and full underbody brake and train-line piping. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on Code 40, 55, and 80 track, while separately applied metal grab irons and handrails, coupler cut levers, etched stainless-steel crossover platforms and top platforms, plus variations in top platforms and end sills add authentic prototype nuance. The model is weighted to NMRA RP-20.1 recommended practices to deliver reliable tracking and handling on layouts.
