HO 40' Single Dome Car Staley Mfg Company #604 (BAC17805)

Introducing the HO 40' Single Dome Car Staley Mfg Company #604, a premium model designed specifically to haul a wide variety of liquid loads. Tank cars have been an essential component of freight railroading since its early days, transporting vital commodities such as water and oil that played a significant role in the development of the nation.

This model represents one of the last tank cars built with a riveted design, which were delivered between the late 1920s and early 1940s before the shift to welded construction took place. Remaining visible across North America throughout the 20th century, the Staley Mfg Company #604 showcases cars from their prime, serving private owners, and later transitioning to maintenance-of-way service to provide water supplies for Class I railroads. A few of these cars have even been spotted into the 21st century, highlighting their enduring legacy.

The Bachmann Single-Dome Tank Car stands out with its prototypical, detailed body, blackened metal wheels, body-mounted E-Z Mate couplers, separately applied ladders, and metal wrap-around grab irons, making it a must-have for model railroad enthusiasts.
