HO 40' Single Dome Car Alaska #9024 (BAC17807)

The HO 40' Single Dome Car Alaska #9024 is expertly designed to transport a wide range of liquid loads, making it an essential component of freight railroading history. These tank cars have played a vital role since the pioneer era, hauling invaluable commodities such as water and oil.

This model represents one of the last cars constructed with a riveted tank design, which were delivered between the late 1920s and early 1940s prior to the shift to welded construction. Throughout the 20th century, these cars could be found in various services, initially serving private owners and later being repurposed for maintenance-of-way operations to provide water for rail upkeep on Class I railroads. Some of these cars remained in use into the 21st century.

The Bachmann Single-Dome Tank Car comes with a prototypical, detailed body that enhances its realism. It features blackened metal wheels for improved aesthetics, body-mounted E-Z Mate couplers for reliable connections, and separately applied ladders along with metal wrap-around grab irons, showcasing attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.
