HO 40' Single Dome Car Gramps #11055 (BAC17804)

The HO 40' Single Dome Car Gramps #11055 is designed to haul a wide variety of liquid loads, making it a crucial element of freight railroading. Since the pioneer era, tank cars have been essential for transporting commodities such as water and oil, which played a significant role in shaping the nation.

This model represents some of the last cars built with a riveted tank design, delivered between the late 1920s and early 1940s before welded construction became the norm. The model captures the essence of these cars during their heyday serving private owners, and in later years when they were repurposed for maintenance-of-way service to supply water for railway operations on Class I railroads. Some of these cars continued in operation well into the 21st century.

The Bachmann Single-Dome Tank Car boasts a prototypical and detailed body, blackened metal wheels for realism, body-mounted E-Z Mate couplers for easy connectivity, separately applied ladders, and durable metal wrap-around grab irons, making it a fantastic addition to any HO scale model collection.
