N 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car, RPBX #23165 (ATHG-1480)

This N-scale 13,000-gallon acid tank car is built for realistic acid-haul service on model railroads. It captures the look and function of prototype equipment, bringing authentic chemical-shipper scenes to any layout.

Key details include body-mounted Type F double-shelf McHenry couplers with rubber trainline hoses and full underbody brake and train-line piping. Two body phases reproduce early and late designs, with brake systems matched to the prototype. 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, and etched stainless-steel crossover platforms and top platforms add to the realism. Variations in top platforms and end sills reflect prototype differences, and the car is weighted to NMRA RP-20.1 recommendations for stable, reliable performance on typical layouts.
