N 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car RPBX #23224 #23246 #23271 (3) (ATHG-1483)

The N 13K Gallon Acid Tank Car is a detailed model representing three variations of the RPBX #23224, #23246, and #23271. This tank car features Type F “double shelf” McHenry couplers, which are a first in N Scale, ensuring smooth and reliable coupling during operations. It includes rubber trainline hoses and boasts full underbody details, including brake and train line piping for added realism.

This model offers two different body “phases,” allowing for both early and late prototype appearances. Additionally, different brake systems are included based on the specific prototype. To meet NMRA RP-20.1 recommended practices, the car is weighted appropriately. The tank car is equipped with machined metal wheels featuring RP25 contours, which operate on Code 40, 55, and 80 track, enhancing its functionality.

Realistic features include separately applied metal grab irons and handrails, coupler cut levers, and etched stainless steel crossover platforms as well as top platforms. The model also showcases various top platforms and end sills appropriate to each prototype, making it a versatile addition to any N Scale train collection.
