HO Chemical Tank Car - Allied Chemical/Arcadian #49550 Plastic Model (BAC75812)

The HO Chemical Tank Car from Allied Chemical/Arcadian #49550 is designed to provide a realistic and detailed representation of chemical tank cars that first appeared on American railroads in the late 1940s. These cars, essential for the safe transportation of industrial liquids, feature a robust construction method distinct from earlier tank cars. They are equipped with pressurized, welded bodies and showcase specialized dome designs that promote safety for both the chemicals and the personnel handling them.

This model incorporates both new and existing tooling to accurately represent two car styles that were operational from the 1950s to the 1970s. With authentic paint schemes, the tank car is detailed with separately applied metal handrails, precision graphics, and features such as magnetically operated E-Z Mate couplers. It also includes blackened, machined metal wheels, ensuring it is ready for service on your model railroad's freight roster.
