HO UTC 33K LPG Tank Car Early MBLX #34289 (ATHG-1505)

HO UTC 33K LPG Tank Car, Early Version, is a highly detailed HO-scale model built to reproduce a 33,000-gallon LPG tank car from the early era for realistic railroad layouts. It offers three body phases—early, flat panel, and late—to reflect different configurations, and the model comes with a wealth of prototypical details: separately applied walkway platforms, manways, outlets, ladders, brake rigging detail, safety rail supports, and tank saddles; photo-etched walkways and end platforms; wire safety rails and end handrails; printed placards; body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers; machined metal wheels with RP25 contours; full underframe detail with brakes matched to the prototype (body-mounted or truck-mounted). Multiple road numbers are available, with unique numbers across singles and 3-packs, and the finish is accurately painted and printed for prototypical realism. The model is weighted for steady operation and rides on a minimum 18-inch radius, making it compatible with standard HO layouts.

Primed for grime: The finish duplicates the look and feel of in-service equipment, with faded, dull-coated base colors matched to the prototype. It provides a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust to achieve a believable weathered appearance.
