N 13,600-Gallon Acid Tank Car Model in Black (ATHGN15328)

An N scale 13,600-gallon acid tank car in black, modeled after the UTLX-era prototype to add realism to an N scale layout. This high-fidelity model features body-mounted Type F “double shelf” McHenry couplers (a first for N scale), separately applied metal grab irons and handrails, rubber trainline hoses, and coupler cut levers. Full underbody detail includes brake and train line piping, along with etched stainless steel crossover platforms and top platforms, two body phases (early and late) with corresponding top platforms, brake systems, and end sills. It is weighted to NMRA RP-20.1 standards and runs on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on Code 40, 55, and 80 track.

Designed for both display and operation, this tank car delivers authentic detailing that holds up to close inspection while offering dependable handling on modern N scale layouts. It features body-mounted couplers for stable coupling and uncoupling, with lifelike detail from grab irons and hoses to piping and platformwork, making it a convincing, prototype-specific addition to a collection focused on black-livery acid tank cars.
