HO 40' Single Dome Tank Car Texaco (BAC17828)

The HO 40' Single Dome Tank Car Texaco is an exceptional model designed to haul a wide variety of liquid loads, a crucial element of freight railroading since its inception. This tank car is perfect for those who appreciate the history of freight transportation, as it is a representation of cars that played an essential role in moving water, oil, and other vital commodities across the nation.

These single-dome examples reflect the final designs built with a riveted tank, which were delivered from the late 1920s to the early 1940s before welded construction became the norm. Throughout the 20th century, these cars were found across North America, serving both private owners in their prime and later transitioning into maintenance-of-way services, supplying water for essential operations on Class I railroads. Some of these cars were still in use well into the 21st century. The Bachmann Single-Dome Tank Car features a prototypical and detailed body, blackened metal wheels, body-mounted E-Z Mate couplers, separately applied ladders, and metal wrap-around grab irons for authenticity and realism.
