HO 40' 1-Dome Tank Car UTLX/Eastman Chemical #35294 (BAC17811)

The HO 40' 1-Dome Tank Car UTLX/Eastman Chemical #35294 is designed to efficiently transport a variety of liquid loads, making it an essential part of freight railroading history. These tank cars have been integral since the pioneer era, carrying critical commodities such as water and oil that shaped the nation.

This model represents a single-dome tank car that showcases one of the last riveted tank designs, produced between the late 1920s and early 1940s, prior to the shift towards welded construction. Throughout the 20th century, these cars were ubiquitous across North America, initially serving private owners and later transitioning into maintenance-of-way service, supplying water for maintenance operations on Class I railroads. Some units managed to remain in operation into the 21st century.

The Bachmann Single-Dome Tank Car features a highly detailed and prototypical body, enhanced with blackened metal wheels and body-mounted E-Z Mate couplers for ease of use. Additionally, it is equipped with separately applied ladders and metal wrap-around grab irons, ensuring a realistic appearance that is perfect for both collectors and hobbyists alike.
